Hi, I don't know anything about cancer, but I am seeing someone that is in remission from Osteo Sarcoma (bone cancer). I was just wondering if there is anything I need to know about protecting myself?

I know its probably an ignorant question, but is any form of bone cancer contagious, or are my risk factors increased by being intimate with a partner who has/had it?

No, cancer is not contagious. But you might want to rethink your relationship with the cancer survivor. He needs a supportive partner who understands what he's been through - not someone who is trying to figure out how to "protect themselves from catching cancer".
