Welcome @citygirl55. I moved your message to the main sarcoma discussion group here:
- Diagnosed with Sarcoma? Let's Share https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/diagnosed-with-sarcoma-lets-share/
I did this so you can connect easily with others with soft tissue sarcoma like @marymaurer @kristennursepatient @saemlerpe @vivianfromaz @ventibug @me67 and others.
Citygirl, as you likely already know, epithelioid sarcoma is a rare, slow-growing type of soft tissue cancer. Most cases begin in the soft tissue under the skin of a finger, hand, forearm, lower leg or foot, though it can start in other areas of the body. Where was your sarcoma discovered? Have you started treatment?
I had a Sarcoma removed. 8 months later I had another removed. Recently I’m starting with what I believe is a new one forming 3 months after last one. Never required chemo. Anyone else get chronic cases. If so, what do you do for it, aside from surgery.
