Thank you for your response.
Where is your tumor?
Lower area in the leg.
How big was it?
I think that I so on X-rays, that it looked as 25 cents(quater)
Have you had a PET scan/CT scan...do you know if you have any visible
metastasis?
Not sure about that!
Are you being treated in a hospital with a dedicated Sarcoma
Unit/where?
I'll have my first appointment with oncologist only on Tuesday.
My question is: How did you feel after first chemo treatment??
I'm wondering because I'll have first treatment and then in 10 days
after that we will go for vacation to Mexico for 5 days, and I'm
wondering how I gonna handle this???
