Diagnosed with sarcoma? Let's share

Hi @me67 @udderplace @brinys @deborahe @jeffk @Laydeewinx @sheila2005 @funkynotes @zshivaughn @jacobito @swstar,
I'd like to invite you to the new discussion group for people living with sarcoma. What type of sarcoma have you been diagnosed with? Are you currently in treatment or finished with treatment?

Jeff Thanks so much for your reply. I have now signed up with Mayo Clinic Connect and someone is going to call me soon so hopefully that can get me to Dr Moore but will keep you in ready reserve if needed! Couple questions for you - now that you are quite a few years down the road from your surgery, how have you done and are you pleased with where you are? Is there anything that you can no longer do and is your speaking, eating and swallowing functions satisfactory to you? Also, how old are you if I might ask as age can impact recovery time. Truly appreciate your input.

I am 70 years old and my major reconstruction surgery was October 24, 2016. I have all my functionality. Last year we discovered that the Chondrosarcoma returned on the other side. Dr. Moore removed it and I am still fully functional. Again, my guidance if you want quality of life you have to get a consult with Dr. Moore. If you want to discus send me a private message with your cell and I will call you.

May I ask your age? I am 71 and just starting to face it.

Greetings.
I have been recently diagonised with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (which was found out through biopsy after removal of tumor). The surgery is already done and I'm currently recovering from it. The retroperitoneal tumor has been removed, but it has been noticed that there is still some residual left, and the doctors said that since it's situated a large area, radiation wouldn't work. Treatment through Chemotherapy is still not confirmed. They have been saying that it needs to be operated on over and over a numerous amount of times, and I have been considering alternate therapies and methods. Any suggestions on what path to take? Is there a treatment of such kind of liposarcoma without any other surgery methods?

Jeff would love to speak with you directly. Private message me and let me know when would be a convenient time for a call. Many thanks Eric

So and update in my case.. they recently found out that it was a high grade, grade 3 tumor of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The surrounding mass was found out to be grade 2.
