Hi, You mentioned you had a recurrence. I was diagnosed with adenosarcoma 12 years ago for which I was diagnosed with a recurrence 5 months ago. Now, a small mass appeared on my scan yesterday. I had chemo/rads first time 12 years ago. Did you have chemo for your recurrence? Things have changed in that chemo doesn’t help sarcomas according to new studies. What’s your take?
Thank you for your willingness to be there/here for me! I have my radiation simulation today and then I meet with the medical oncologist and a nurse tomorrow. I think both of these appointments will help because I will have a better idea of the plan moving forward. I know I will have 5-6 weeks of radiation M-F with the 1st and 22nd or 28th day they will give me an IV infusion of Cisplatin for 3-5 hours (what determines the length of the infusion?) Then I will have a month off before 4 rounds of carbo/taxel (4 hour IV infusions 21 days apart.)
I will lose my hair during the carbo/taxel treatment. Advice on a wig/scarves/hats would be helpful. Maybe that's part of my appointment with the chemo oncologist/nurse on Tuesday?! Thank you again!
