> Dear Kent Field:

>

> My husband has recently been diagnosed with cutaneous leiomyosarcoma. In

> searching for information I came across your site.

>

> He is scheduled to go back to the dermatologist on Tuesday to have his

> stitches taken out. The doctor is the type that you have to know the

> questions to ask in order to get any information from her. Altho I have

> gathered some information today, I feel sure that they will try to put us off

> unless we are very prepared. So I am trying to decide what questions to ask

> and what we need to request in order to get the health care he needs.

>

> Mike had a small growth on his back. He had to insist the doctor remove it

> and the lab diagnosed the leiomyo. He went back in and the doctor took a

> bigger chunk out of his back. When I talked to her this week, she said that

> all the lab results came back normal. I am concerned that it may be in other

> parts of his body.

>

> He is also in the spot you were in of not wanting to talk to anyone about

> this.

>

> Thanks for any advice/info you can pass along.

> Sincerely,

> Kaaren A. Hack
