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 ThinkingConfusedPersevere

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
