My orthopaedic oncologist used to work at U of Md Baltimore and now works at a cancer center at Sanai Hospital in Baltimore. He is an expert in Sarcoma's and is a consultant for the Lance Armstrong Foundation (L. Armstrong is the bicyclist who has won the Tour de France 5 times following treatment for testicular cancer). I had my right leg hamstring muscle removed and had extensive treatment for a sarcoma that was in the muscle. Get more opinions. There are so many doctors and so many different opinions and types of treatment and therapy. Contact me for anything. jcthomasjr@yahoo.com0

Dyana, I had the same troubles you explained including having the sarcoma removed from my right posterior Thigh and developing lymphedema. I was sent to Physical Therapy and then to a lymphedema specialist. They put my leg in a cuff and did massages and eventually the problem was resolved. Let me tell you that it took more than just 2 treatments. as a matter of fact it took several weeks of treaments spread out. As far as the pain. It has been several years since I completed my intial treatment, except fro another tumor removal back in October, and I still live with pain every day. It is not enough pain to be taking narcotics to control but it is constant.i do not want to lie to you and give you false hope so that is why I felt the need to tell you about the pain. I am in the Chatroom often and go by the name of Mike99 so if you can catch up with me and want to discuss it more than feel free or you can leave me a message on my web page which you can find by typing Mike99 into the serch box. God bless and the best to you and yours.0
