I Just Found Out I Have Sarcoma

Sorry that you have just found out about your Sarcoma. Have they identified the type of Sarcoma? There are many and some respond to certain types of treatments when other do not. I have Retroperitoneal Sarcoma. A large mass was found in my abdomenal area. The mass was the size of a soccer ball. I had radiation first followed by an operation. The mass weighed 11lbs. I had my right kidney removes, plus a small part of my liver. Part of the tumor was left as it had wrappe around the vina cava and was too dangerous to remove. I have just completed my 2 year following the operation and all is stable for the moment. I visit MD Anderson Cance every 90 days for follow up observation. I was told that chemo would not work on this type of cancer unless as a possible last resort. The improvement did not out weigh the effects of the chemo. My only suggestion is to make sure you identify your specific type of Sarcoma and do as much research as possible...Remember God loves you and will help you deal with this.
