@gina5009 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! As you read through the posts here, you will discover that the majority of us are told the same thing you have been told. It is a "watch and wait" situation. And, we learn to not let this diagnosis be a big stumbling block to living our best life. Patients often go many years with no progression to another level, and quarterly or semi-annual bloodwork is done for the monitoring.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I am an old had at this wait and watch. I was diagnosed at 36 with breast cancer and had a total mastectomy. I had a Dermatofibrosarcoma in 1986 and I am now 92 years old, so the waiting and watching has been going on all my life. I have come to the conclusion, I am not going to leave this world until God is ready for me, so I enjoy each day and look forward to the next. Hope all is well with you and God love you
