After nearly 14 weeks in hospital I had my sarcoma removed last Friday, it was looking a success but unfortunately my skin graft hasn't taken so I need further surgery. I feel incredibly upset as I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am at my lowest point as I can't face anymore I just want to be home with my lovely family. I can't stop crying and I've never felt so hopeless and weak. I'm having a vac dressing fitted tomorrow and then will need a skin graft so long as the muscle that was
implanted in my leg has taken . This is something I'm very worried about as I really don't know what I'll do if this needs even more surgery. I should be happy as my sarcoma was successfully removed but all I can focus on is the failure. It doesn't help that I have a 14 week old baby and a 4yr old and I'm in a hospital not local to home
