That's great news. Our oncologist tells us that the incidence of leiomyosarcoma is 1 to 3 per million but the good news is that this type of cancer is very susceptible to chemotherapy.
Would love a pic of chemo Carl. He also has leiomyosarcoma that started in the muscle under his right arm. His tumor grew to 900 grams in 3 months, explosive growth, treated with surgery and radiation in October 2022. It has resurfaced in his right axilla and there is a suspicious lesion in his left lung. Started chemotherapy this week. He is 44 years old. I retired in Merida, Mexico. When he was diagnosed he didn't have health insurance so he flew to Merida where he got FAST skilled excellent medical care. Now he has BCBS Florida insurance and it looks like we'll be able to use it here to defray the cost of chemotherapy.
It sure does dear soul, and THANK U for taking time out to reply. GOOOO GOOOO GOOOO Chemo CARLxxxxxxx
