Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

Because sarcomas are rare, I would like to start a conversation to help connect people living with sarcoma or caring for someone with sarcoma.

As you know, sarcoma is the general term for a broad group of cancers that begin in the bones and in the connective or soft tissues (soft tissue sarcoma). There are many different types and sub-types of sarcomas, for example: angiosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), Kaposi's sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, osteosarcoma, pleomorphic sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma and more.

Let's get to know one another. Why not start by introducing yourself? What type of sarcoma have you been diagnosed with?

Has anyone had epithelioid sarcoma cancer

I had a Sarcoma removed. 8 months later I had another removed. Recently I’m starting with what I believe is a new one forming 3 months after last one. Never required chemo. Anyone else get chronic cases. If so, what do you do for it, aside from surgery.

The one on my hip has calcified.
We are treating others on lungs now.
I am a bit nauseated this week after Doxil chemo last Friday.

I was diagnosed with a sarcoma. I do not know exactly what kind. The pathology report after my hysterectomy says poorly differentiated central type PNET with mainly neuroblastoma features.
I am waiting to get an appointment with a sarcoma specialist. Chemotherapy to start when I am healed from surgery. 🙂
