Hello, Rachel.

I'm sorry you have to be here, but I'm glad you found us. I did a quick search for fibrosarcoma and I came across this physician's name. She is at one of the USA's best CCCs (comprehensive cancer centers). I realize that you live in Oz, but I would urge you to contact the doctor for a possible referral to a specialist close to you. Better yet, if you have any family or friends that live in the States, you may want to make a trip here for at least a consultation. This is indeed a rare form of cancer and even the CCCs only see up to a handful a year. You want to make sure that you attack this disease full-force, no matter the expense. This is your life. A good prognostic factor is your young age.

There may be people who know more about finding places to stay close to a CCC at low cost to you. Sometimes, the hospital may have a list of people who are willing/able to provide residence during cancer treatments. There are many people on these forums who have traveled to distant places to get the best treatment and therefore give themselves the best chance of survival.

I wish you the best of luck in your diagnosis and treatment plan. Here's to hoping for the best possible outcome and beating this thing into submission! Please keep us posted and keep coming back for more information/support. The people here are amazing!

With care,
Kerri
