Does anyone have a family member that passed with Sarcoma Cancer?

Posted by annben @annben, Aug 18, 2025

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

@annben Thank you for your kind wishes. Yes, today brings up many blessed memories of my own mother. The first Mother’s Day without your son, of blessed memory, must be very difficult and as you wrote he will live on in your heart forever. ❤️🌷

@naturegirl5 Hello Helen,
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. We are fortunate to have mothers who raised us and cared for us. Loved us unconditionally. I hope you were able to reflect and remember your beloved mother today. I loved my son and tried to be the best mother I could be. I miss him more than words can say. Remembering him today, and the love and joy he brought to my life. Hugs to you

I was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer a couple months ago…. I have no symptoms…. My girlfriend noticed a lump in my left thigh… She encouraged me to get it checked out so I did. And they did an ultrasound assessed biopsy. But wasn’t sure it was cancer so they had me come in aprx. A month later and they removed the mass. It took about 3 weeks before they diagnosed it as sarcoma cancer and they referred me to the Mayo Clinic in phoenix…. Fit more tests and m r I and pet scan and ct scan they say there is a little bit of cancer still in my left leg where the mass was. So. They are going to cut that out this Thursday…. They said it will be a pretty big cut. And they will have a plastic surgeon there in case they need to do a skin graft to close the wound
