Good morning
Can you give me more details?
When did the disease start and what treatment did you receive?
For me, did it start after the third dose of the Pfizer vaccine for covid 19, by chance or not?
I talked to an oncologist surgeon in Italy but I want to learn more about this disease.

Not clear when it started. It took several months before the medical profession settled on the finding that the large lump I had was sarcoma cancer. The treatment was radiation and surgery. They since have discovered a very tiny tumor, which will be treated by chemo at first, then perhaps radiation, then perhaps surgery and immunotherapy.

I discovered the disease in 2023 after 1 year in which I went to several doctors and they did not know what I had. In my case, it manifested itself in the form of spots on the lower limbs, more precisely on the fingers and soles of the feet. After biopsy and immunohistochemistry, the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma was made. That year I had radiotherapy on one leg and the following year on the other. After radiotherapy, the skin burned and opened, fell off and now it looks good. Radiotherapy weakens the immune system even more, the skin becomes dead and does not recover and the dermatologist forbade me from having radiotherapy anymore. I go for a check-up in Italy every 6 months and as a medicine I take something that contains vitamin D.
