> My name is LaDonna Backmeyer. I have renal leiomyosarcoma, stage IV B.
> I had a left radical nephrectomy in November, '95, followed by six
> cycles of adriamycin/ifosfamide, which brought the numerous metastases
> in my lungs to two non-growing mets. However, I now have two or three
> newly seen lung metastases and it seems as though I now have a
> retroperitoneal tumor and another tumor on my skull. I plan to have
> more surgeries and I hope to take part in a vaccine therapy clinical
> study or a gene therapy clinical study. I am in the process of writing
> and editing a leiomyosarcoma newsletter.
