Thank you for your reply... She has since been seen again and is scheduled for surgery. She had an ultrasound and CT scan... her physicians feel that this isn't going to be a Lieomyosarcoma due to some lacking characteristics, but since it can't completely be ruled out, they are proceeding cautiously, with a surgery to remove the mass whole and biopsy it. I was told that ultrasound is a more accurate way to view tissue... CT scans are more for checking surrounding areas for mestatasising that could point to cancer, but CT scans can't differentiate tissues, fluids, mucuses, etc. So, essentially any complex mass can mimic a sarcoma and radiologist are trained to point out worse case scenarios.... Physicians apparently see this wording a lot. I hope everything is going well for you now. I appreciate the support I've received here. I'll update her progress. Have a wonderful day!
