Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma: Anyone else want to share?

Posted by me67 @me67, Mar 3, 2017

I have been diagnosed with pleomorphic sarcoma. Is there anyone on this site that has had this cancer or has it now? I would like to talk to you. Thank you

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Sarcoma Support Group.

Recently received my biopsy showing Pleomorphic Myxoid spindle cell neoplasms. Reports suggest removal but that’s all I know at this point. Just doing my own research. I have a mass right above my clavicle bone that has been slowly growing over time. Mushy feeling had an ultra sound then CT Scan and then biopsy. My doctor hasn’t received the test results my chart sent me a email. I had my biopsy on 2/5/25 I go in on the 17th for an unrelated procedure but this will definitely be addressed at that time. So new to the dx really don’t know what is next.

@dbooth, is this a new diagnosis for you? What treatment is being recommended? How are you doing?

I feel fine. I have been done for 2 weeks now. During the treatments I was fine and a few days of burning since but very tolerable. I feel my skin healing everyday. I use Cerave everynight and all good. A little fatigued but I have remained active throughout.

That’s good to know. My husband is scheduled to start his radiation on Feb 17, 5 days a week for 5 weeks.

I just had my 6 month CT scan of the chest and MRI of upper right leg where the sarcoma was removed. CT showed a spot on the left lung and a spot on the thyroid. Am scheduled for a a PET scan next week. Am continuing with PT through March because femoral nerve was in sarcoma and have no quads. Get a hinged brace the middle of March and am excited about that!!
