Is Sarcoma that rare that nobody is asking for answers.. I'm just starting my Radiation in the coming week. My tumor grew in a matter of weeks 5-6 & is the size of a big Orange that has made its home on my left pelvis area. 5 wks of RT awaits so I'm very thankful for the experience you have shared. Thankyou
