Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share
Sarcoma | Last Active: 14 hours ago | Replies (854)Comment receiving replies
Hello. I'm 60 years old and was diagnosed with rhadomyosarcoma two years ago. I'm still under treatment as the tumor has jumped from one place to another. Is there anyone out there has the same diagnose as mine? I was told this is a very rare disease in older age because it's mostly only children.

Hello mp01. I have a different kind of cancer. But it is also very rare in older adults. I have found very little information and doctors at Mayo partner between specialties to provide the best treatment. In my case, both gynecology and neurology oncologists decided on the care. The fact that children and adults dont always respond the same way to treatments is a wild card. But i was ordered extra tests on the tumor removed through Tempus, to better understand it since it is poorly differentiated. This may help tune up the treatment. I am not sure what the criteria is for those extra tests.
Hang n there. I went through my first cycle of chemo. Very tired but positive. I know it is a long road so i started practicing my walking 😊
