My sarcomas were soft tissue. Dr. Attia is my treating Dr. Dr Sherman was the surgeon who removed the sarcoma. The cancer is in remission,yea. Currently I'm on a chemo maintenance program every six (6)

Welcome to Connect, @saemlerpe. I'd like to introduce you to @ventibug and @me67, who also have soft tissue sarcoma.

Saemierpe, what type of soft tissue sarcoma do (did) you have? What chemo maintenance are you on and how are the side effects?

@kristennursepatient, how are you doing back at work? Are you able to pace yourself and manage fatigue?

@viviand have you started radiation yet?
@erikahamilton did you already finish radiation?

I am also being treated by Dr Attia at Jacksonville for UPS (undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma). I was diagnosed 2 years ago and have been through radiation and surgery (at another hospital) and now on my second type of chemo with Mayo. UPS first appeared in my left calf and I had to have the soleus muscle removed. It has since metastasized in the lungs, but the treatment I am receiving now seems to be keeping it small, and not spreading. I choose to remain hopeful and busy. 😁
