Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

Jeff did you do a radiation series followup to your surgery? I had a synovial sarcoma in my jaw. Danial Price and Eric Moore did the surgery and reconstruction and I came out with clear margins. Radiation has been suggested as a followup for insurance and I’m debating the pros and cons. I’m 78 now.

Hi @rgotto41, I’m tagging @jeffk in this discussion so that he sees the question that you asked of him about surgery and radiation.

The good news is that Dr. Moore was able to get extremely great margins and 100% of the tumor. Fortunately I did not have to have any radiation. This was three years ago and I know that perspective on radiation has evolved. I would have a serious conversation with Dr. Moore about the benefits and potential concerns. As you most likely know he is very approachable and will engage in a healthy dialogue. Good luck to you!
