I was diagnosed with a 6cm angiosarcoma of the left femur... an implant was ordered to try and save the knee but while waiting for it my femur broke... bone and muscle then had to be removed, and a femoral knee replacement performed. Histology reported back good margins and a pet scan 6 weeks later shows no sign of spread... so now 2 weeks into 12 of paclitaxel, to be followed by radiotherapy, then another 6 weeks of paclitaxel.
I'm just wondering how you all cope with the fear of more bad news? I'm an overthinker at the best of times and I'm kind of struggling with it.
