I was diagnosed in 2000 with a neurosacral sarcoma(soft tissue), I was given no hope...the mass was (of course in my sacrum) was on top of a nerve sjeath(covering) and also around the base of my spine and as you know nerves do not need to be cut, , so surgery was not an option as it would cause me not to be able not walk....the dr had to call around the country because no one wanted to touch it...finally at UAB Birmingham, Alabama, dr took my case only to tell me ......no hope.....they said the only thing that they would try was some really strong radiation....lots of prayer.....I was supposed to be bleeding, was supposed to spread to my lungs and brain....after those 36 treatments and lots of prayer.....its been 8 years......I believe that I am a living miracle........
