In July 2019, I was diagnosed with a Myxoid Liposarcoma in my right thigh (just above the knee). I completed the five weeks of radiation and was impressed with the professionalism and individual care provided by the radiation oncology department. Other than fatigue and the burn appearance to the leg (that really appeared two weeks after the completion of radiation), the radiation had minimal other side effects. The radiation worked well to minimize the impact of the tumor prior to surgery. Now two months following surgery (that was very impressively performed by the Mayo teams), I wonder how others with invasive leg surgery (particularly if there are others with functional flaps) worked through rehab.
