My daughter-in-law, Noriko, lives in Japan and is 40 years old. She was recently diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the scalp. She has had 11 radiation treatments out of 35. She had an allergic reaction to the chemo treatment, paclitaxel. They tried administering it slowly today and she had another severe allergic reaction and even went unconscious. They informed her and my son that they will not be giving her chemo any longer but will continue the radiation. Has anyone had success with angiosarcoma of the scalp without chemo and just radiation?

I had AS on my cheek removed in 2012 and then 30 radiation treatments. I went cancer free for over 10 years before a reoccurrence adjacent to that area. I just had surgery to remove that tissue but because it is close to my eye and is previously radiated area, I cannot have radiation again. Chemo has never been suggested.
