Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share
Sarcoma | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (840)Comment receiving replies
Hi,
I just had a left pneumonectomy on Nov 30. Upon further examination they tell me my tumor was undifferentiated sarcomatoid carcnoma. It was also found in 5/19 lymph nodes. They took out all the cancer they could find along with the lung . No metastasis . Next step is a scan in may. Should i do anything in the mean time?
Jeff

Second opinion?

Hello Jeff. This is a long time to wait until May but your body may need to heal too.
I have a different kind of cancer but an aggressive one by nature. I got surgery on october 28 and they removed all they could find., too. Ct scan done, no apparent metastasis, 1 lymph node positive out of 32 removed.
So no local radiations
But i was started on adjuvant chemotherapy this week. They even wanted to start 2 weeks ago.
I dont know where you are treated but maybe getting a second opinion would help?
I originally had an initial consultation with an oncologist on 11/4. I contacted Mayo on an impulse because it was a month away at the time. On october 27, i had a series of tests scheduled at Mayo and on october 28, surgery needed was done at Mayo too. Since then, i have felt very well taken care of and never let down.
In my case the second opinion helped a lot. But everyone is different 🙂
I wish you good luck in your journey.
