Is anybody dealing with an angiosarcoma?

I had angiosarcoma about 10-12 years ago, and was in my upper chest wall . It is, as you probably have learned,
a cancer of the lining of a blood vessel. And extremely rare. Men who have worked in the manufacturing of certain types of plastic are prone to get it. (I am neither!) There are other causes, & I suggest you research it with Google.
Mine started as a very odd-colored bruise that did not hurt, it disappeared, then reappeared in the same place. My dr. said it was nothing, but I insisted she biopsy it. She finally did, and when results came back, said she had never heard of it! I got a new dr.!
I had surgery to remove it, & had no more trouble with that particular cancer. I am one of the fortunate ones. Good luck with your friend, and learn as much about it as you can.

I am responding to your group info on angiosarcoma.
My family member has angiosarcoma of the scalp-very very rare-& not much info for patient or family…she has had many surgeries on her scalp-tumors re occurred-radiation didn’t do a thing.
(2 times -each like 8 weeks)
Then chemo 2 times for a very long time.
She is a survivor.
She is a strong person with a lot of will.
Diagnosed in Oct 2019.
She is still alive and has not had new tumors in the last year.
She has no scalp left, so that is a good thing.
She has PETscans regularly- no indication of spread to other areas - she feels good considering -living her life -good days and down days.
Amazing gal. I love her! Sending hope to all of you-I never thought she’d be here living her life fully in 2022
Always have hope!!!

Hi @amyqueenof4, welcome. As you likely already know, angiosarcoma is quite rare. I’m tagging fellow members @grizz20 @crackerjack @mermaid7272 @brinys, who have experience with angiosarcoma either as a patient or caregiver, like you.

I know that angiosarcoma can start anywhere in the body. Where did it appear for your fiancé? What treatments has he had?
