My 52 year old sister has just developed a leiomyosarcoma in the groin. Eighteen months
ago she had one removed from the side of her leg near the knee. At that time she also had
a hysterectomy and a fibroid was found to be malignant. It is possible that these are all
connected. She is in South Africa and is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, but she and her
husband are having second thoughts and are considering coming to the U S, possibly to
Sloan Kettering, for at least a second opinion and possibly for treatment here. Does
anyone have any advice, recommendations of doctors etc? This is extremely urgent!!!!
Please help us if you can. Pat Kagan. Email address: elliott.kagan@worldnet.att.net
