FS-DFSP (Fibrosarcomatous dermatofibrosarcoma): Anyone else?

Yes, I did. My main concern was balancing the risk of another recurrence with preserving the function of my leg, especially since any additional surgery in the same area could affect how well I walk and use it.
Since radiation isn't available on my island, my doctor consulted with an oncologist on a neighboring island that does offer it. After reviewing my case, that oncologist also recommended that I proceed with the additional surgery and felt that it should be the final course of treatment.

@anikadow I hope you a speedy recovery and you come out of it Stronger than before.
I know it takes a toll on you, just take care of your mental health. Good times coming ahead
I was also diagnosed with Fs-DFSP on back of sclap, after the doctor misdiagnosed it in the first surgery thinking its a cyst. however i went for the second surgery WLE, with clear margins of 3CM.
my only concern was that my deep margin was 0.3CM but doctor removed periosteum, and the layer of my neck muscle as a precaution. however i have my first MRI follow-up next month as doctor mentioned to monitor it every 3 months.
