June 24th I had an appointment at UPMC Presby to meet my Surgical Oncologist. I really liked my Surgical Oncologist he has a vast amount of knowledge in Sarcoma cancer and removal of it. He is the chief of surgical oncology at UPMC Presby. During that appointment I had a CT of my chest done. In most cases when Sarcomas spread the first place that it will spread is to the lungs. My CT showed some very very small nodules on my lobes that are too small to biopsy. The plan for that is to do routine CT scans to monitor any changes in size, or anything else.
I met my Medical Oncologist who specializes in Sarcoma and she was wonderful. Our plan as of now is to do the surgery, they will go over the tumor and grade all sections of that and then decide with a team of doctors if radiation therapy is needed.
I will have routine scans every 3 months for the next 2 years.
