Myxofibrosarcoma: What treatments did you have?
Sarcoma | Last Active: Oct 7, 2024 | Replies (104)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with a thigh Myxofibrosarcoma on August 2nd, had my first surgery on the 3rd and on the 9th, after the pathology report came out, I had my second surgery because the borders weren’t clean. Started physical therapy the day after my second surgery and radiotherapy 6 weeks later for 6 weeks. My tumor was a bit less than 5 cm.
Today I started to walk without a cane. Feel happy.

@lac74, walking without a cane is a huge accomplishment. I bet you're feeling happy. That's quite an accomplishment is such a short time - although I bet it didn't feel like a short time. You've been working hard to regain muscle and mobility. What tip would you offer to others who are new to this diagnosis?

So happy to hear you are walking without your cane. Congratulations on your progress after such a difficult journey.
My myxofibrosarcoma took 1 1/2 years to diagnose. 1st surgery Sept 2020 and 2nd surgery Dec 2020.
Then had to be completely inmobile for one month. Then 3 months later 6 1/2 weeks radiation.
Then physical therapy.
It's been a long journey but so very grateful to still have my lower leg.
