No one seems to know how to handle this type of sarcoma so they just amputate. Now I have around 20 nodules in my lungs and will have them surgically resected after I am fitted for my prosthesis. I don't want to do anymore chemo (I had adriamiyacin and cisplatin) for 4 months, it stabilized the nodules. My Doctor is suggesting Ifosfomide but it can reak havoc with my reproductive system because I really want to have a child after this. Has anyone used Gleevac for lung mets and any success? Please let me know. Charity O. Mon, 28 Apr 2003 00:00:00 GMT
