Hello John, I am writing to
Hello John, I am writing to request the name of your doctor which you talked about in your post. Hope you are still doing well after your back surgery. I am scheduled to have a Cat Scan Guided Sacrum Biopsy next week at our local imaging center, but I am a bit skeptical as to whether this should be done by a oncology doctor than by a radiologist. I am wondering how painful this biopsy is while its being done and the pain to expect afterwards as well. As
far as we know at this point the tumor has metastised & as you must imagine I am somewhat afraid as to what is down the road for me. I have just learned all this in the past week after a slew of tests, so it is all really new to me...don't know whether to be scared or not...doesn't sound like a good thing to me. I appreciate any information you can give me
since you've experienced a similar thing. Thank you. Pat

Hi Pat, well the Biopsy I
Hi Pat, well the Biopsy I was painful I not going to tell was not and the recover afterwards takes about 4 days until you cant seat again without any pain my biopsy was done with about 4 Anesthesia and also by a cat scan guided but was less than 30 minutes was done and then they take you to recover room until you ready to go home MY biopsy was done by a doctor on Bellevue hospital center he is a associate professor of radiology DR.H.BRYK a very nice doctor, don’t be afraid because this not the end of road My self I was very afraid but after the test you going say you ready for another one. My doctor the one cure me and safe my life is doctor NARAYAN SUDARESAN and his telephone is 212.876.7575 is the best doctor on the field for tumors and spine surgery also you cant contact me for any questions or what else I cant help you at JOHNHARDEMAN@MSN.COM Pat I wish you good luck on your biopsy .

Cat Scan Guided sacrum biopsy
Dear John, thank you for being so honest with me. I am wondering what state you are in?
I am in central Nevada near Lake Tahoe. It is so difficult to know which doctor to go to.
As of right now I am scheduled for Dec. 5th at our local imaging center that is state of the art and they tell me fully equipped to handle any situation because I was wondering if this should be done only in a hospital setting. The radiologist is excellent & comes highly recommended. My daughter happens to work at our local hospital and has done considerable research & she has not found any negatives. My primary doctor has assured me that this is perfectly fine. However, I am still concerned & probably rightly so as I imagine anyone facing this would be. Like you say, maybe I will feel differently when it is all over.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with me so honestly. Pat

Chordoma
I'm not a doctor, but I have belonged to a chordoma support group for seven years.

You must be certain that any doctor who touches you, even for biopsy, has experience with chordoma. This is because the tumor can spread very easily by material carried on a glove or instrument.

Nearly everyone in the group followed up with proton beam , the only radiation that really affects chordoma.

Hi
I had Ewings Sarcoma in the sacrum in 2001, when I was 14 years old. Am now 22, and still cancer free.

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope all is well.

would like to hear more
Hi - My daughter was recently diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma of the sacrum. I would love to hear from you, a survivor of Ewings in this area. Did you have surgery, chemo, radiation, or a combination? We are at a decision point in my daughter's treatment and trying to make the best one.

new at all this
My husband was just told 3 weeks ago he has Cancer of the Sacrum, tomorrow he has a Biopsy, what is next and did they find cancer anywhere else? How long before you find all you needed to know. Thank you.

Dear Itonioli, I've noticed you've posted a few months ago, and wondered how is your husband doing? My husband was diagnosed with a sacral chordoma in Dec 2008. He had surgery Jan 2009, and I can relate to your circumstances. In response to your questions: His cancer has not metastasized. As of his last CT, we are still cancer free. It was a learn as you go process for us. Fortunately, we do have a great doctor that has seemed to give us the information as we needed it. I'm still not certain we know all we need to know. The fact these types of cancers are so rare and the patients conditions are so different, it's hard to know exactly what to expect. Best wishes to you and your husband.

doctor recommendation
Dear, jjhnyc.
i read your post and would be very much appreciate if you can forward me information about the doctor who did you surgery.
My mother was diagnosed with chordoma about 4 years ago. She had surgery for removing this tumor but it grew back. for almost 2 years we were going to Sloan Memorial for chemo sessions (no success), back surgery doctor doesn't want to do surgery again since tumor regrows. So, right now, she's in terrible pain and i'd like to talk to other doctors to get their recommendation on how to improve situation.
thank you in advance.
Alex

Sacrum Cancer
Hello Alan,

I have cancer in the sacrum which apparently travelled from my original bowel-cancer. I have been through radiation and chemo treatments with more chemo coming imminently. In my case(and it is important to realise that everyone is different), surgery is not a viable option as the risk of damage to my nervous system is too high. This situation may also have a lot to do with the UK approach to cancer care in that the balance between treatment and life-style is the first objective. The American way seems to us over here to be to 'kill it' and cope with the risks. Frankly neither policy is wrong - it's what you personally feel you can cope with.

I would recommend talking to an Oncologist i.e. get a second opinion before going near the operating table! I am not a Doctor or 'medical', but in my case surgery will certainly leave me incontinent and possibly semi-immobile i.e. walking difficulty.

I am also investigating Cyberknife, but again I don't know yet whether the position of the tumor in my sacrum amongst the nerves will preclude this. You could talk to your Oncologist about this or to a hospital near you that has the Cyberknife technology.

I wish you well!
