Angiosarcoma of the breast

I was just diagnoised with angiosarcoma of the breast last week on 09-03, I am currently going to MD Anderson for treatment. I just went today the 10th to see a medical Onacologist: Dr Benjamin and he informed me that my condition was very very serious. My sarcoma is currently 9cm by 9cm, he is saying that I must get a PET scan immediately, and then start 3-6 months of chemo w/ 4 different chemo drugs. Please if anyond else is in my similar position let me know if I have any options. My b-day is Monday and this is a hard time for me and my husband, We have complete faith that everything will be ok. MD Anderson is treating me in the Sarcoma department not the breast center. At first we went to a doctor in North Houston and this doctor wanted to operate and remove the toumor before radiation, this is why we immediately went to MD Anderson.

On 8/31, we came to MDA for 2nd opinion, and Dr. Ravi said that my husband has angiosarcoma of esophagus. Dr. Ravi said the chemo is the only option for his type of cancer. My husband started his first chemo on 9/11 for 5 days. This morning he went back to MDA for blood work. His WBC dropped from 9.5 (last Friday's count) to 0.5 this morning.  Other than this low WBC, he feels okay, a little bit tire than before.
