Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

I am very upset that she lost her battle to cancer on January 6th 2018 she passed away. So I ask myself what went wrong? Why did my loving wife passed just a year later just 4 days before her birthday. I feel that more could have been done and wasn't. I believe they should have not done the surgery on her leg but did chemo and radiation first to shrink the tumor. However I am not sure what to think anymore. We later found out that they missed the diagnosis in 2008. If they would have taken care of it then maybe she would be alive today who knows. I am telling you all beware of having surgery first. I truly believe once they did the surgery it spread to her lungs. Also the tumor just grew back where they did the surgery. My advice is get plenty of second opinions I think your best option is do the chemo / radiation before the surgery so it doesn't have a chance to spread. It was a very sad situation for my wife that passed. The suffering she had to go through and the stupid politics we also had to go through. I think personally the swept her under the carpet because She was on disability and I am a disabled veteran. We don't have 500k for pay someone so guess what your dead. It really sad this country went from patient care to patient service. You only survive now on how much money you have not because it the moral right thing to do is try to save her life. God bless all of you and I only wish you the best. One thing it did do is bring me closer to GOD!
