Hi
I'm a 38 female with 3 children 10 yrs 15yrs and 19yrs
Was diagnosed with Sarcoma following suspected night crapms, skin infection to a final discharge on me being adamant I would not leave without further tests. Reluctantly the emergency Dr ordered me a biopsy and advised me to cancel it as as after a massage the lump would go down
I awaited the call for the biopsy 1st march booked!
Chased results 15th March diagnosis over phone ewing sarcoma suspect and that I'd be referred to oxformard sarcoma unit
Oxford= improper images received
Need further mri of thigh
Next pet scan
Heart echo
Kidney filtration
Chemo day 1 . Take 1
Pet scan shows external iliac lighting up so as it's deep need lapriscropc procedure. Chemo postpone d
Chemo day 1 take 2
April 11 liver levels not where they're supposed to be
Possibly chemo will be postponed
God will its started but amended altered etc to ensure safe
My protocol is vdc-ie 9 weeks then operate then 5 weeks. (But there's a risk of radiation in the mix due to lymph nodes lighting up!)
V was removed
Dc halved
7 hours before Chemo ended temperature spiked so Chemo stopped 7 hours early
What does this all mean
Lump is massive
Skin discoloured
Left left can't bear any weight
7.5mg oramorphine evey 3 hours
God knows what I'm asking for or if there's anyone having experienced something similar it would be nice to hear from.you x
Hi Hannahxafa,
