What we know so far

Diagnosed with Metastatic Sarcoma (MPNST)

I have a Soft Tissue Spindle Cell Sarcoma (21 May 10). On first admission Dr Bissett (ARI) confirmed that this was in fact a Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour (MPNST). Basically this is a Neurofibromatosis tumour that has turned malignant. The MPNST is on my chest wall and has metatastasised (spread) to my lungs.

First attempt at chemo with Doxorubicin & Ifosfamide didnt work.

Since had 5 'fractions' of Radiotherapy, now waiting to see what effect that had.

Primary MPNST is a staggering 10cm. Not sure how many lung tumours I have but they have been described as 'several' and are 1-2cm.
