I am not familar with your type of tumor, but I had a DERMATOFIBROSARCOMA in 1988. It was removd with a wide recission and a rotator flap to fill up the whole left in my leg from the surgery. It was necessary to take wide margins to guarantee all of the tumor had been removed. At first they had thought about inserting radiation sticks, but later decided against it. I can thankfully say there has been no recurrence and I am now 92 years old. I hope you will have equally good results, and remember Life is Good, and enjoy every moment you have been given.
God Bless you

Thank you for your reply and sharing your experience with me. You've made me feel better and given me more confidence about having radiation treatments. Much appreciated.
