My sisteroffutt9 said:angiosarcoma of the liver survivor for 7 years!!!!!
Hey!!! This is offutt9 (Barbara Offutt) I have angiosarcoma of then liver and have been to Cleveland Clinic, In Cleveland, Ohio and had RFA (radio frequency ablation) done. The cancer has not spread anywhere else...To this day the cancer has quit growing and shrinking. I feel good...(most of the time except for tiredness) and if we could only invent a cure for that , we'd be rich. LOL They gave me 3 yrs ..7 yrs ago to live... I told them they were wrong..I give God all the PRAISE and GLORY.. Keep the FAITH for without it we don't stand a chance... The doctors said it was rare and I know there are no studies out there on angiosarcoma, but they don't know everything.. I wish you well and please write to me.. In Gods Love Barbarahello,
my sister was diagnosed two weeks ago with this as well but it is also present in her colon. I have researched statistics and they are all doom and gloom. Thank you for sharing your story.

I am undergoing a CT scan on 2/9 for suspected liver mass --- my doctor (for anal cancer) is now thinking I have "something" on my liver. I complained about the pressure in my up right abdomen area (tightness kind of runs from under the right ribcage downwards), 6 months ago and was sent for a check up with other doctors who did nothing. I am wondering who might be a good doctor to see at the Cleveland Clinic (Main Campus, Avon, etc) ...

I have not had my biopsy yet.
I have not had my biopsy yet. I am scared to death to accept this fate. I never thought of something like this. I read alot about angiosarcoma on other sites but all say fatal cancer. None speak of survival after 3 years. In my case doctors stated 95% chance angiosarcoma. Only two types of cancer it could be one in bile ducts, which mine is no where near., or angiosarcoma. I have 4 spots on liver and one on lung. I am scared and don't want to go back. I have never taken good care of my body. What do I do?

Hi Barbara, my name is Chuck. I go for my biopsy in 2 weeks. But the doctor already told me this is the only thing it could be. Everything I have read online about angiosarcoma says no survivors. I have a wife and 2 young boys. I need hope. I read your story and I have a little hope. I'm only 39 and I'm not ready to leave this earth. But the mass on my liver is growing rapidly. I would love to talk to you if you wouldn't mind.

Angio Sarcoma
I was initially misdiagnosed as having a harmless hemangioma. This continued to grow and became so painful I had it removed in Oct. 2012. Luckily my surgeon was a cancer surgeon and treated it as such. He had a biopsy done and found it was cancer. Since it is so rare we had no protocol locally for this, so I have been going to Duke Cancer Center. They have a Sarcoma clinic there. If they had known prior to surgery that it was cancer, they would have started Radiation. Due to the location on my liver, and the damage it will cause, I can only undergo radiation treatment once, so I am just saving that option. I have progressed from scans every 4 months for the first year, to every 6 months for 5 years. I am happy to say that if all is clear in my June scan I will graduate to once a year! We are individuals, not statistics. I treat everyday as a gift and have tremendous faith that I will not leave this earth one day before my time. ( And I will not stay an extra day either ) Sending thoughts and prayers your way.

angiosarcoma of the liver
You are so right. We are not leaving this world until God is ready for us. I don't get to get on the Internet much because I don't have it. I have missed being able to talk to others. I am doing wonderful. PRAISE GOD! IT has been 14 years
