Synovial sarcoma metastasized to lungs: Looking for connection

Posted by cootiekim @cootiekim, Oct 21 9:49am

Hi looking for connection with others going through similar cancer and treatment. I'm a 45 yr old female that got diagnosed 2022 with synovial sarcoma in my thigh. It was removed and radiation. It has now returned 2024 in my lungs. I have had 4 chemotherapy treatments so far. Doctor hasn't given me much hope but trying to stay positive. Question if I can do anything else to increase my chances.

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

I'm tagging a few sarcoma members like @ellengrubb @scs23 @mcwjr189 @mrahaman, who have experience with sarcoma in the lungs (primary or metastacized).

@cootiekim, it's a punch in the gut when cancer returns. How are you doing on chemotherapy? What protocol are you on?

My son did chemo first, shrunk it from 7cm to 2cm, then just finished radiation on this past Monday and it remains unchanged, plus found a nearby nodule, preop is planned for next week, and we will get a date for surgery.

I am on a similar phase. Metasized to lungs. Now it's riding on two horses. My doctor holds me tight but still I am looking if they could cut out all my tumours as there are only two places to cut open. Prayers
