@bcu . My mother in India just got diagnosed with cutaneous Angiosarcoma. She started with a rash on forehead and now has pimple like nodules on her scalp. Doctors are not sure exactly what is the correct pathway of treatment since nodules are on scalp and has rashes spread in face and cheeks . One doctor suggested chemo followed by surgery but another doctor said only chemo and radiation and no surgery because the rash is all over the face.any advice from your treatment?
If you are getting nowhere with a University teaching hospital, perhaps try Greensboro or Charlotte. And consider that Mayo is down in Jacksonville, FL as well. We know firsthand how health care, particularly cancer can disrupt your entire life. But this is a battle that you did not start but you must finish on your terms. Try to get the best help you can. Take charge of this once again and beat it. We are here to listen and hold your hand if needed.
