Myxofibrosarcoma: What treatments did you have?

Hello,
It was actually the oncology radiologists suggestion. He had a massive mass removed from his elbow and the brachytherapy catheters were placed at the same time. He had twice a day radiation for 5 days. That type of therapy is very specific to the area involved. This was in 2021 and as of today he is cancer free.

@marshelle

Thanks for this information.

What did the radiation treatment entail? Did he just spend the whole day in the hospital, then move to the treatment area for treatment? Or was he inpatient the whole time? Or did you go to the hospital twice in a single day, and hang out somewhere between the treatments?

@marshelle Did you ask about other options e.g. external beam, or did they present other options besides brachy?

Or did they just suggest brachy and that's what he chose?
