Hi Run, I see that you have mentioned Sarcoma.

While in this forum, we have primarily have Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) patients, which is originating from epithelial cells; your cancer, i.e. Sarcoma is slightly different origin - they are tumors made up of mesenchymal origin e.g bone, cartilage, fat, muscle etc.

The course of treatment will be similar to SCC because Surgery is important in the treatment of most sarcomas.Additional treatments, including chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, may be administered before and/or after surgery.

The issues and recovery will be almost same as SCC patients so that is where everyone can guide you here.

Wish you all the best and we all are there for your support.
