My dad has been diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma. Since the doctors say thay there have been only a few hubdred reported cases, the only option they have given is aggressive chemo. Has anyone else on this page had this type of cancer?

Hello @jonimclark,

Welcome to Connect. I'm so sorry to hear your dad has been diagnosed with such a rare cancer. I'm tagging @ecdhope who's talked about Erdheim Chester disease – a histiocytic neoplasm. You can read the discussion here:

@jonimclark, could you tell us a bit more about this sarcoma? What tissues or organs are involved? What symptoms is your father managing?
