1. < Sarcoma

My biopsy is scheduled soon on my upper right thigh (sarcoma)

Posted by rond306 @rond306, May 2, 2023

Since cancers have been in my family and the look on the doctors face , says it all .. I am already assuming a sarcoma in my upper thigh . Of course I do not like what I read and have been emotional since my evaluation yesterday .. Has anyone had a sarcoma removed in upper thigh ? I like to know what I am in for moving forward . Please respond .. I can deal with a lot being a NYC kid at heart , my 10 year old boy is my biggest concern . This part of life is difficult . My father passed away when I was 27 of prostrate . I am now , Same age group as him and now it’s my turn .. A different event yet in the same ball park .. . Can people survive a long time getting these sarcomas removed ? I never thought I would be reaching out …. I just know something is not right …. I know my body . God Bless everyone here .. I get it …

Hang in there. I just found out today. You are young for this to happen. I think it's all about getting that biopsy done. Then you know more. Are you in NYC? Where are you being treated?

Hello @sherrykb and welcome to Mayo Connect. It looks as if a sarcoma diagnosis is new to you. Did you discover this through a doctor's exam or were you aware of something and then went to the doctor?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

How are you now and I am in the small town of Lake Charles and I think I need to travel somewhere to get the biopsy done cause I don’t want them to make things worse. Where were the doctors you saw. Do you remember?

@satrica1, have you considered where to go for the biopsy? Might MD Anderson in Houston or Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville be an option for you?

Hi @sherrykb, you said that you too just received a diagnosis. Do you also have sarcoma? What type? Have you discussed treatment options yet? How are you doing?

(Too many questions. Sorry.)
