Does anyone have a family member that passed with Sarcoma Cancer?
My son passed with Sarcoma cancer in June of this year. It took over a month to diagnose his medical condition. It was a rare form of Sarcoma. Because he had no obvious symptoms the cancer had spread quickly before he could seek appropriate treatment. He passed 8 days after receiving his first chemo therapy treatment. I was Hoping to connect with someone who is currently going through a similar situation. Thank you

1 ReactionThere are many types of sarcoma, some more aggressive than others. My husband died at 36 with a "schwannoma" which is rare and originated in the heel of his foot. He was diagnosed early, before it metastasized, but died five years later after radiation, surgeries, and various chemo's. Some sarcomas can be very aggressive. I'm very sorry to hear about your son.

4 ReactionsThank you, I appreciate it. I am so sorry for your loss. You are fortunate it was caught in the early stages. You were blessed to have more years with your husband. My son had a rare type of the Ewing Sarcoma and very aggressive, as you read in my post. I am saddened to say it had metastasized before we could get appropriate treatment. Thank you for sharing your story.
Wishing you good health and peace

P.S. My older brother's grandson Declan got osteo-sarcoma when he was four years old. At the time, he had his right leg amputated below the knee. He just turned seven. In the past month, he had three surgeries: The first was to remove cancer from his lungs, the second was to remove a large tumor from his brain, and the third was to remove a second, smaller tumor from his brain. Before he was discharged from the hospital, his family was told that the cancer has now spread to his left leg, ribs and liver. Please pray for Declan and his family.

Thank you so much for reaching out. It has been so hard going forward without my beloved son. My heart goes out to you and your family. It looks like Declan has had a rough road fighting his cancer. He must be a brave young man. My son's cancer had spread to those same area's. So heartbreaking for someone so young. My son passed at 32, before his time. He had only began his chemo treatment. Then in just a little over a week , God called him to heaven. His heart gave out here at home. Praying for healing and strength for you and your family. Thank you for the link. I will remember Declan in my prayers. Sending Hugs to you. God Bless
