Breast cancer & LMS Sarcoma

ciannuzzo

Battling both breast cancer and Leimosarcoma, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in December, had a mastectomy with reconstruction surgery. Then they found a tumor, it raptured and it was LMS. I am now battling two cancers and once. Will I survive? I don't want to die, but I guess no one does. I'm only 46. I am in treatment now, three days of chemo followed by a shot to replace white blood cells. then three weeks off. I am having 8 sessions of this treatment followed by 30days of radiation. Anyone out there have this?

Hi Cian

Although I don't have this, I wanted to say that I am so sad that you are going through these two awful DXs.  After my recurrence I got bloating etc and was convinced I had LMS after an MRi showed a massive fibroid.  Indeed I a now being monitored for ovarian cysts and having never had kids and BC twice I feel very vunerable.

Google "fibroid myths" - there are a lot of surving ladies giving their stories of LMS and "ovarian cancer personal stories".

My heart and prayers go out to you...
