I'm looking for any information on treatments or experiences with myxofibro sarcoma.
In Jan 2007, my 68 year old father had surgery to remove a mass the size of a grapefruit on the back of his thigh. It was later diagnosed as a myxofibro sarcoma although there were two tumors on top of each other - one an aggressive form of cancer and one a non-aggressive cancer. The mass was removed in one piece. He then had a series of radiation treatment in this area.
Last week he went in for a follow-up CT scan and they found at least 15 (and likely more) spots on his lungs that range from tiny to 19 mm. These spots did not appear on his CT scan in January. Since the spots are of varying size, varying location and in both lungs, his doctors are recommending a biopsy to remove ~3 of the spots to make a positive diagnosis that this is a recurrence of his previous sarcoma. If it is positive, his doctors are recommending he then have chemotherapy.
From the limited information available, it does not appear that chemotherapy has had very beneficial results. Has anyone gone through this situation or have any resources, treatment options, etc. we can look into?
Thank you.
