I recently wrote to you about my husbands pending surgery at UCLA to remove his second leiomyosarcoma tumor in his pelvic area... We have just arrived home after one week in the hospital... Surgery went well and we will now begin a 5 day a week, 5 week regiment of radiation at UCLA. We will drive everyday from Bakersfield to UCLA - 140 miles one way - to have radiation one minute treatments... We feel that strongly in their procedures... Will continue to update you on his success... We are so fortunate to have this team of sarcoma specialists at UCLA... Hope all is well with you.... Bert McCarthy
