Subject: Stage 4 Metastatic Sarcoma
Date: 02/01/2008
My uncle was diagnosed in Nov 07 w/ metastatic sarcoma.  My family and I are completely devasted.  He was hosptialized on Saturday 01/26/08 after coughing up blood.  We were told on Wednesday 1/29/08 that he has stage 4 and we need to prepare for his depature.  Doctors say he may have a couple of months left.  The tumor is imbedded in his left lung and is pressing on a major artery near is heart.  Doctors say the tumor is non-surgical and it's too large. My uncle started chemo in November however the tumor has gotten much bigger.  About 13 + years ago he was in a terrible car accident w/ a severe leg injury.  2 years ago the doctors, found he had cancer in that same leg and amputated that leg to hopefully kill the cancer and prevent it from spreading.  He was on chemo and according to him a much stronger chemo than he was put back on in November.  My family and I are devastated and no one has ever had cancer in our family before.  We dont' know where to start.  The doctors have given up all hope, but we believe in a higher power and have faith.  My uncle is not ready to give up and neither are we..  Any suggestions or any similar stories.  I'm desperate..  Where do we turn, and what can we do.  ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.  Any one here with metastatic sarcoma or can anyone help me understand what it is.  Not sure if it's a bone cancer or what.  Thanks in advance.
