Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

I was dx with angiosarcoma in the skin on my left cheek in Fall of 2012. I had cancerous tissue removed and 30 radiation treatments in Jan. of 2013. I had no reoccurrence until this year. It showed up adjacent to where it was before but closer to my eye and nose. Surgery gave clear margins except near lacrimal duct. I will have more tissue in that area removed next. Reradiation is off the table and I am wondering is any places are using adjunct therapies in my situation. CT and MRI show no metastasis to any other area.

I had Angiosarcoma on my upper chest, near collar bone, several years ago. No radiation or any kind of chemo, just surgery. I have had numerous cancers and a wide variety of type of cancers.
(Bad genes!) I never have had anything but surgery for all my cancers.
So far, it has not shown up again, but I am plagued by numerous skin cancers and another Melanoma. I am so sorry you are going thru such trauma, especially on your face, that's really tough. (My nose is starting to look like a boxer's!)
Stay tough.
