I was 65 when I had my first surgery. I have stage 4 of vea cava vein Leamyascacoma. I’m now 71. Mad it five years.. you Will too. They treated me like I was an old lady until my daughter gave them a lecture about my work history and strength. They didn’t even want to do surgery. Of coars after surgery even with margins I had met going to my liver and lungs. You will make it for years.

Hi, my cousin was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior ivc Dec 24.2024. Chemo began on Christmas Day. She rcvd chemotherapy for 1 day and was told she is highly allergic to Heparin. We were then told she now has HIT. They've given her 2 different types of blood thinners that didn't work. As of Sunday she was put on a 3rd type of blood thinner. They've called a meeting with us and said the mass has gotten bigger. It now has reached her liver. She's on continuous dialysis due how the HIT messed with her kidneys. They pretty much told us there nothing else they can do and asked our preference on DNR, etc .
I however believe in miracles. Once this new medication gets into her system and the body gets rid of the clots, she can get a liver transplant while they remove the tumor ( which is located beside the liver). She can remain on dialysis for life if needed. She's to young for ending life. She's an outstanding officer of the law 20+ years service and has a animal rescue with over 50 animals. Jesus fix this💕
