HI,
6/06 I was diagnosed was a 4 cm fiborid.
8/29/07 I went to surgery for a partial hysterectomy due to the enlarged fibroid. Dr. found an 12cm sarcoma within a 18x27cm fibroid. Dr. had an OBGYBN/Oncologist join the surgery and they did a total abdominal and took some lymph nodes as well, although they were healthy.
Stage 1
Grade 3
Tumor was negative for estrogen receptors
Positive for invasion of myometrial veins
Mitoses 9-50/10
CT Scan was performed and no other tumors were found.
My oncologist is recommending immediate abdominal radiation treatment and chemo consisting of Doxorubicin(Adriamycin)/Ifosfomide. Has anyone received these?
Everything I have read says chemo treatments don't work as a preventative measure only if it has already spread and will just damage me prematurely. Where would you go for a 2nd opinion? I am in Oregon.
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks,
KC
