Angiosarcoma

My ex-husband and father of 2 of my children (little girls 6 & 8)  was diagnosed with Angiosarcoma in August of 2004.  At that time I did a  lot of research and found that if he survived it would be a miracle.  I found that it is often caused by exposure to Vinyl Chloride which is used in a lot of manufacturing processes.  It is rare and the survival rate is not the best.  He fortunately went into remission for 3 1/2 years which was great.  At that time our daughters did not really notice anything was going on because they were 1 and 3.  However he recently found out that it has returned with a vengance.  He went in for what he thought was hernia surgery and found out that it was swollen lymphnoids.  After getting fully checked out, they discovered that he has 3 tumors this time instead of 1 and that the tumors will be more difficult to remove.  They got a portion of the one but the other 2 they have decided to see what effect chemo and radiation have on them before attempting to remove them.  We are at a loss for the words to tell our daughters.  The outcome looks bleak at this point.  He lost a lot of weight this time and his hair started falling out yesterday when I dropped my girls off to see him.  He can't see them as often due to the aggressive chemotherapy and how much it wipes him out. I am so afraid that they might lose him.  Anyone who reads this please pray for him and anyone else that may have any type of cancer.

I was recently diagnosied with angiosarcoma and found out that this type of cancer is rare. I will pray for your husband and what type of chemo is he doing?

My brother was diagnosed in June 2009.  What have your treatments been and how are you doing?  It is a frustrating cancer since all the oncologists don't seem to know much about it.
