Hi All,

I have been diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma recently and understand its very rare. Had surgery in January when it was first diagnosed and been waiting 4 weeks+ for next surgery.

I am getting no support and just wonder if this is due to COVID? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hi Krazychrissy. So sorry you’ve found your way here. The Soft Tissue Sarcoma Forum would be a good place to introduce yourself, there are a number of people there who have been diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma . I think support is a very fluid concept during the cancer journey and I have found the best bet is to take control of the process oneself and contact your designated nurses with any worries or concerns. Sarcomas are, as you say, very rare and finding people who have experience of them is difficult. Building a support structure of family, friends and online has helped me enormously, plus finding a local support group (for when lockdown finishes). 

    Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way.
