Myxofibrosarcoma: What treatments did you have?

How large was the tumor? My sister has a very large sarcoma in her right thigh.
It has taken forever to start treatment. She has increased swelling and pain.

@cherylkolson I had a large sarcoma in my left thigh. The surgery was quite extensive in that the cancerous muscle was removed and replaced with a thigh muscle from my right leg. The shortly thereafter a small tumor was spotted in my left hip, which was surgically removed. My mobility has been deteriorating ever since. I have now reenrolled in in-home PT. and hoping that helps. Also, I can't understand why there is so much time between the time the cancer is diagnosed and the treatments to follow.
@cherylkolson I am sorry to hear this. My mom is currently still having tests run at our local hospital and at first they said surgery but now they need another MRI. I am concerned because of the size of the tumor and location. I am wondering if she needs to get into the Mayo clinic as they have more expertise.
