Leiomyosarcoma with nodes on the lung

I’m so sad and angry as my suffering has been made worse by my gp not reading my MRI report properly where it stated 10cm mass needs urgent investigation. I was left 10 months with cancer brewing inside me. I begged for help I tried everything. Now I’m scared I’m going to die..I feel I am leaving behind a husband with MS who needs me my kids are scared and I am putting in a brave face. I know it sounds pessimistic but I just feel it. I must say the hospice has been amazing! And McMillan too I’m going to enjoy this Xmas with my family and maybe I can bring my hopes up a bit. One day....by the time the sarcoma was removed it weighed 900gr and my spine was damaged in the process too. 

  • Hello daisybell22,

    I can completely understand why you are feeling sad and angry at the same time and disappointed that the MRI report was not read properly. I just wanted you to know we are all here for you anytime you need to talk to others who find themselves in the same boat.

    I am pleased to hear the hospice has been amazing. You are right to want to focus at the moment on enjoying Christmas with your family and I hope you will enjoy spending some quality time with your husband and kids. Unbelievable that by the time it was removed it weighed 900g that is indeed massive but I am so sorry to hear your spine was damaged in the process.

    If you wanted to chat to others on this forum who have also been dealing with leiomyosarcoma, I have identified recently a couple of threads which may be of interest to you. For example [@ardleyhut]‍ whose mum was also diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma posted on this thread about it and I also found this thread discussing leiomyosarcoma which might be relevant to you.

    You are indeed a very brave lady daisybell22 and I hope you will hear from others here who will have been in a similar situation.

    Best wishes,
