Oh gosh, @vivianfromaz, I sincerely hope you don't have Valley Fever or that it is easily manageable.

@damlady2, amputation would be life-altering. I can understand your hesitancy. Are you having to make a decision about surgery or not at this point or not yet?

@spadafarm, as you can see there are several sarcoma survivors here who are Mayo Clinic patients. If you have questions about Mayo or as you prepare, please ask.

3 years ago my oncology surgeon told me this was only thing that would stop this cancer. I refused and he had not pushed me to make the decision recently.
I am taking the chance that it will not spread and affect my arm more than it is now. Currently I have some arm/shoulder pain but am getting a cortzone shot in my shoulder next month.
