Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

Dears,
I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in my left elbow 4 years ago. It affected my ulna which I had an operation and replace it with a prosthesis. After several scans, one month ago it showed that my Radius has been infected which had an operation to clean it.

Previously I followed chemo treatment for 4 sessions which showed only 20% efficacy.

Can you please help find solution for my case because the surgeon is suggesting for an amputation.

Best Regards
Richard

Hello Richard.....surgeons like to cut, that's their specialty and that's what they offer. If possible, find a Radiation Oncologist for a consultation to see if stereotactic radiation is an option in your case. Hopefully, amputation is the last choice in your case.

@richardlion, if you would like to seek a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, you can submit a request here: https://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

How are you doing? Will you have surgery?
