> 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.
