My mum was diagnosed with a Sarcoma (Stage 4) in her thigh at christmas after a year of thinking it was a pulled muscle and having 6 months of physio!! It was removed in January but as it was in the muscle they had to remove two large muscle groups from her leg and also a main nerve. The operation was a real worry as there was a possibilty they might of amputed her leg....thankfully that didn&#39;t happen!! Things have improved loads over the last month as she has started to walk again... She started her radiotherapy on friday (33 sessions) and seemed to hit rock bottom!! She has been so positive since being diagnosed but now she seems so low...its so hard to see my mum like this! I think its the unknown that is getting to her most, she is dreading going tomorrow! Does anyone know how radiothrapy can effect you? They have said they have got to give her a really high dose for the first two weeks as it was resting on the bone! She is worried it is going to set her progress back with walking and is stressing over whether she will be able to drive again! I have never heard of this type of cancer before they say it is really rare! If anyone has any advice I would be really grateful! <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=226920&AppID=21500&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
