My husband was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma about ten days ago. The
mass is encasing his aeorta....it is inoperable....we are finalizing
our "game plans" within the next week with our doctors for treatment.
Tentatively at this time we are going to M.D.Anderson in Houston for
consultation....IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED
THIS DIAGNOSIS IN THIS LOCATION, we would like some sharing of data.

He is a 57 year old healthy male. He developed a tremendous amount
of fluid in his right lung and that is when they found this mass via
CAT SCAN after draining for ten days.

Thank you for any assistance in educating us on this new event in our
lives over which we are still in the dark.
