I have Leiomyosarcoma. I’ve been through 6 treatments of chemo where the cancer shrunk 1 cm with 2 cm remaining. It started as a fibroid in the uterus. After 25 external and 5 internal radiation treatments there’s been NO change. So now back to chemo on 3/22/24. My treatments started July 21/23. 62 year old female, still working through all of this in Arizona.

I was also diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma last year ans started chemo in August. It seems like everyone's situation is different and therefore treated different. I am 72 and was feeling great until my clavicle broke due to a tumor in the bone. Makes me stage 4. Seems like uterine is more common but I have no uterus so they have no idea where it started. Chemo caused shrinkage at first, then no growth which I am told is what they are hoping for in my case. Because it's already in the bone in my case there is no cure so I will be on chemo as long as I can take it. My next scan is due this week. Wishing you strength to cope and positive outcomes from treatment. I'm in Wisconsin.
