I live in Canada my GP thought my lump was a ganglion on my ankle sent me for ultra sound I went for surgical biopsy found that I had PLEOMORPHIC liposarcoma after 25 radiation treatments. And going for surgery next week. The cancer is through my foot and Achilles’ tendon. It’s take just 4 months. And all my care is free. Just hope I don’t lose my foot. 🙁

Iam in Kenya my daughter have diagnosed with sarcoma, iam very worried the doctor at Kenyatta hospital has said of amputation of her leg, I don't know whether there's other options of saving her leg and her life kindly help

[@Cwgrlup]

I was told “ satellite lesions” on a thigh mass I have were no big deal and that “it was the wrong terminology”.... I also have a recurring giant cell tumor in my knee ( PVNS diffuse AND nodular).... why do these doctors continue to ignore this? I’m also a nurse.... still get blown off.

[@thevilkids]

So what is your final diagnosis?

[@chaoswitch1974]

What?! I think they all assume they're lipomas? No? How do you get them biopsied?

[@missimpressed29]

I have DSAP and a b
Fast grown lump under my shoulder blade that hurts and itch’s And is blue and deep.
I’ve already had cervical, uterine and thyroid cancer

[@foxfur8327]

It's almost impossible in some provinces to get referrals to specialists even when people sweat all night and have multiple cysts in neck, groin, abdomen, serious platelet problems, frozen numb face, previous cancer, thyroid nodules, etc. Unfortunately no specialist will see patients without a referral either. I think that's because both diagnosis and treatment can be as brutal as dying from the disease and make things even worse and there is no guarantee it will help anyway.

[@skittles2055]

Hope you are doing okay. Gosh that’s so much to go through. May I humbly suggest looking into Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. Be well 💫💕

[@BUBBLESPOGO]

Oh boy.

[@chaoswitch1974]

Jeez! Good luck

[@andreac980]

What happened?

[@dieuwkatsesmetzis4775]

By the time doctors realized my daughter had chondrosarcoma she was already a stage 4 and had no chance.

[@nemospence2724]

How is your daughter?

[@crownedspirit472]

@@nemospence2724 Uhm, they said had no chance a year ago. That means she’s likely passed away

[@Bambotb]

It'd caused by iron overload period

[@TELESHARICE]

I have a mass the size of a golf ball by my left rib stomach area. With pain in my back and under my rib. I've only had an ultrasound. Have a ct in 2 days. They think lipoma but it's grown quickly within a week. I'm afraid it's liposarcoma and that they won't know

[@crownedspirit472]

I started getting consecutive bloody noses, repetitively getting weaker, losing appetite and drinking less. Soar throat, cough and got a cold, then i became ill. And after that 4 days ago i my left upper arm above my bicep started to swell a bit and hurt even though I hadn’t been on activities and didn’t pull my muscle either. So i’m going to the doctor tomorrow

[@ruchisingh7316]

So what's the final results?

[@bryanlatham2195]

Sarcoma is awful😖

[@emmadragon6554]

Are sarcomas genetic

[@barbaraharris7004]

I have read so much on Ewings Sarcoma, I think it can be genetic.
''Looking at tumour biopsies under a microscope some have specific DNA/gene abnormalities in tumour cells help us confirm diagnosis or provide prognostic information''
