Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

I was diagnosed in September with Sarcoma T3 N0 in my thigh. I thought I had a “Frozen ITBand” from too much physical activity, a sports injury, and within a month had a mass on the thigh the pain increased, so I was relieved to find out via needle biopsy of the diagnosis. I chose to start with Radiation Therapy to shrink the mass and then after approximately three weeks of rust and recovery, I will go through orthopedic oncology surgery to have the remaining mass removed. Things look positive for keeping my leg and I want to be educated on how to proceed.

It sounds as though you will have a very positive outcome! I too had thigh surgery and it went well. Best of luck!

I, too chose radiation first for my Myxofibrosarcoma stage 2b in my thigh, then surgery after 4 weeks of recovery, mostly for my skin but I also had fatigue, from radiation. My surgery was this March with clear margins. Looks like you have a treatment plan, that is the most important first step. Best of luck to you.
