4 years ago my wife Mary had a lumpectomy and it was diagnosed as Spindle Cell Sarcoma, very rare in the Breast. She just underwent a mastectomy as she had a re-occurrence in the same breast, in the same area with a tumor that grew to 3 cm in less then 6 months. Now just 10 weeks later they found a large mass at the base of the lung and two spots additional spots on the outside of the lung and they are also Spindle Cell Sarcoma. We are looking for Doctor's with experience in this area, Studies, Trials, etc to help us with this battle. She is now at the Cleveland Clinic were they have removed a portion of the tumor that had grown into the airway to give her lung capacity until we find a solution. Please forward this to anyone that might be able to help or give us some input on were or who to contact.

    So Sorry
    Hi Don,

    I'm so sorry that your wife is now battling with this diagnosis. I work in NYC so when I was diagnosed, I did a lot of research on Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), and one of my closest friends, who's had an 8 year battle with Breast Cancer, has received her treatments at this facility. I know there are top rated Doctors in all states, but MSK is one of the leading facilities for more complex cancers. You might want to do a little research on the website. I hope this information helps you and Mary.

    The link is www.mskcc.org

    Many Blessing to you and Mary,

    MOrtiz

    Where to look
    I went to the selection for cancer types and found a post with someone who has spindle cell. It's in the "rare and other cancers". Hope this gives u another venue. Good luck and positive prayers to you and ur wife.

    My heart goes out to you and your wife
    Cleveland clinic has a good reputation. Sloan and Mao clinic too. My friend had web consultation via Skype with Mao doctors, you might look in to this option as well.
    Sending positive thought to your wife's way. I hope u find cure and she will be on her way to cancer free status.
    Hugs
