Liposarcoma stage 4
Hi there,
Just saw ur posting on sept 4. I submitted the story of my sister 32 years, has a 6 months old baby, in august 2011. She has liposarcoma in her lower back spreading to the spinal bones. Major surgery on 30 may, hospitalized for 6 weeks with difficult recovery. Docs removed het back skin, several vertebraes t p1 to t4 with replacement, one kidney and some nerves as well. A recent scan showed that cancer has spread to other spinal bones. Further surgery is of no help now. Prior to the surgery she did the tissue biopsy. I cannot explain the MRI report for u but please do the biopsy as asp, consult an oncologist specialized in sarcoma and read the discussion boards with the topic "liposarcoma", there r several forums to get info of med centers in the USA specialized in sarcoma. there stories/ experiences r very informative, useful for u to make decisions and inspiring.
Hope all goes well with ur husband.

Prepare yourself with as much information as possible. Do not assume that your doctor knows anything about this disease and always,always,always get a second opinion from a recognized specialist.0
