Need to talk

Good afternoon, My name is Vicky. My Husband was diagnosed with Angiosarcoma (Cancer of the Blood Vessels). He discovered a lump on the back of his leg just above his knee area. He had 3 surgeries in the same area as well as skin grafts within a 10 day period. He will never be able to work again. I know that I am not alone out there. I am looking for financial resources and support. Is there anyone out there interested in talking with me that may have been diagnosed with the same cancer.

Hi Vicky,

I was diagnosed with angiosarcoma  also. Mine was pelvic and currently does not affect me physically much., but the uncertainty is awful.

There is good information on both of the links below (I do not know if they will work, you may have to copy and past them into the browser.)

 Hopefully it will be some help for you. There are also serveral good sarcoma message boards if you are interested.
