Hello, I had a tumor on my right calf and it was diagnosed as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma last November.. I did 5 weeks of radiation to knock it down in size so they would not take my calf muscle. The tumor was removed on 2/15. The surgical wound was 5.5 inches across and exposed the calf muscle. It took me 6 months to get the wound healed and closed. I did high protein diet, Vitamin C IV treatments to granulate tissue , Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments and a skin graft. The surgery biopsy said over 70 percent kill rate of tumor cells and clear margins. Follow up MRI of surgical wound and CT scan of chest. As I approached my 6 month scan, I found 2 lumps in my groin. The results of the second biopsy show three lumps. There is a third lump deep in the pelvic cage. The Tumor Board is meeting to discuss treatment. I am guessing chemo. Once I get a treatment recommendation I wanted to hear how chemo has worked for other undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patients. Thank you. speedreader

Wow! I have recently been diagnosed with pleomorphic myxoid spindle cell neoplasm. Meeting with surgeon on Monday. Just wondering how it worked out.
