Myxofibrosarcoma: What treatments did you have?

@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?

@lac74 Great to hear that you're up ,walking without a cane. This helps us. My husband was diagnosed last week with a thigh Myxofibrosarcoma approx 5-6 cm. His oncologist/surgeon wants to shrink the sarcoma BEFORE the surgery........so 5 wks of radiation and 5 weeks to let the tissue/muscles heal and Then the surgery will happen - likely at end of May. We pray that clean margins are in the pathology report so as to avoid a second surgery. I'm ever so pleased that you started physio VERY soon after surgery! How many days before you could walk without a cane? What type of physio exercises worked best for you from the start? And did you go to physio 4 days a week from the start of recovery? I appreciate your sharing !
