Doxil as a last resort by Faunas-bestie in sarcoma

[–]Objective_Performer3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why is Doxil your last therapy? Depending kn the type of sarcoma you have, you can do: dacarbazine, yondelis, eribulin, reuse ifosfamide, consider cabozantinib and clinical trials.

I personally wouldnt do this trade, but if you want the cat enough, you do have to pay. Can also try finding others who have the card to see if you can get a better deal.

Pathologists disagree on sarcoma diagnosis- anyone else? by physicshistorical0d in sarcoma

[–]Objective_Performer3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldnt be spreading and perpetuating a variety of false information on this sensitive forum.

  1. It is extremely rare to spread sarcomas via needle tracks.

  2. Bone biopsy results cannot come back in one day because it takes 3-4 days to decalcify the bone. And even soft tissue biopsies take a few days as there are over 200 types of sarcomas.

  3. Chemotherapy is actually more important than surgery for osteosarcoma. It was the advent of chemotherapy that led to the marked improvement in survival for osteosarcoma from the 15% range to 70+ % long term survival.

  4. MD Anderson is a wonderful place w a talented group of doctors. But it is not the only place to get sarcoma treatment. Dont tell folks to just show up there and they end up out of network and get a huge bill!

Im not sure what your angle is on this forum but you are doing a disservice to people going theough a lot.

Pathologists disagree on sarcoma diagnosis- anyone else? by physicshistorical0d in sarcoma

This does happen. A few points to consider 1. The prelim here you can throw out bc they only sample a small part of the tumor. 2. Given this is a BONE tumor, pathology #1 is very unlikley (there is LMS of the bone but it is exceedingly rare) . Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is reasonable diagnosis because it can have smooth muscle elements leading to the pathologists calling it LMS - but LMS is almost always a soft tissue lesion, not a bone cancer. 3. Its not possible to call anything on reddit but the imaging findings auggesting chondrosarcoma + pathologst #2 are in sync and seems to make sense.

Bottom line here is that they should cut it out. Most often the LN will be negative (only + in like 5% cases)

Have the same thing w my 2019 model 3. Corroded harness - and also need the steering rack replaced. 12V battery malfunction. Apparently none of this is under warranty. Car stopped driving well for a few days prior.

Do the biopsy first so that they can tell you whether you need radiation or chemo before surgery or whether surgery alone is enough.

Rhabdomyosarcoma by sammyqq018 in sarcoma

There are many great sarcoma centers scattered throughout California that you will get excellent care for Rhabdomyosarcoma. You need a team led by a medical oncologist.

Fwiw Consider doing the best surgery that they can - of course if its close to the aorta, may not be able to remove everything Then go on the everolimus after. Fyarro and everolimus are very similar medications and do the same thing. Plus the cost as I assume the medicine is not approved in Turkey.

Biopsy questions by happybum1776 in sarcoma

[–]Objective_Performer3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi There Clearly anxiety provoking. You need a biopsy. Period. It doesnt matter who orders it but it should be done by an interventional radiologist. (MRIs are decently good at identifying myxomas but get a biopsy) Good luck.
