My biopsy is scheduled soon on my upper right thigh (sarcoma)

Hi @sherrykb, you said that you too just received a diagnosis. Do you also have sarcoma? What type? Have you discussed treatment options yet? How are you doing?

(Too many questions. Sorry.)

@satrica1, have you considered where to go for the biopsy? Might MD Anderson in Houston or Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville be an option for you?

Hello @sherrykb and welcome to Mayo Connect. It looks as if a sarcoma diagnosis is new to you. Did you discover this through a doctor's exam or were you aware of something and then went to the doctor?

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hang in there. I just found out today. You are young for this to happen. I think it's all about getting that biopsy done. Then you know more. Are you in NYC? Where are you being treated?

How are you now and I am in the small town of Lake Charles and I think I need to travel somewhere to get the biopsy done cause I don’t want them to make things worse. Where were the doctors you saw. Do you remember?

Mine was in the left upper thigh...and yes ! ...just wanted it out!...that was 34 years ago!

Hi. It appears that I am going through the same thing. I have to have a biopsy done to confirm it’s a sarcoma in the same area. Right upper thigh! How are things going with you now? I want this alien out of me!

I had a sarcoma removed from my right thigh back in 2022. Before the removal I was given radiation. I found the mass by pure accident. I had sciatic pain and thought it was from a fall that happened years prior. I finally went in to investigate the pain and surprise a mass

I had a leiomyosarcoma in my upper left thigh 34 years ago...it was growing on the major vein. I had 2 surgeries, the first to remove it, diagnose and arrange a plan to save the leg. I then had a second surgery a month later where they removed a lot of muscle and the vein, followed by 34 heavy radiation treatments. I am still here! so be strong and positive.

I had a Sarcoma growth removed from my left thigh in 2021. It had previously seemed to have been caused by a bad dog bite in the same area. It was quite large by the time they removed it. A wound vac was used to close it up. I still have quite a large scar from it and I still need physical therapy for the muscle below it that turned flabby afterwards. My relatives who one is a nurse told me to drink lots of water as that is how all the nerves and blood vessels heal. God bless you.
