hi

I have had a myxofibrosarcoma removed from my foot. A below knee amputation has been offered/suggested, for quality of life, as radiotherapy apparently may leave me with a painful useless stiff foot. There are no local patients that have been through this as I’ve asked both the sarcoma team & Maggies. 
unfortunately I have a rare cancer in a rare site so trying to find someone with experience of this who I could speak to.  I’ve Been told there is no survival benefit in me undertaking the amputation Grateful for anyone who has experienced radiotherapy to the foot to reach out

Regards Catherine
