hello, my name is lisa. my son was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in 1998. it was in his foot. he had previously had a sports injury in the foot. a large lump appeared and the rest is history. we took him to a university hospital and they recommended amputation of the foot. what a horrible decision for him. he was just 19 years old. when the amputation was done the dr said all the parameters seemed to be intact and gave him the chemo options. he opted out of the chemo with the option of very close follow ups. he has never had a reoccurance but they did say that if it did happen it would more than likely be in the lungs. it has been a long time and i thank the drs and the good Lord for his life.
