Anybody has a synovial sarcoma?

my dad told me he was diagnosed with a synovial sarcome and it's in his finger. i am worried about him, is there any dangers?

Encourage your father to seek out a sarcoma specialist. Sarcoma's are rare and need the attention of a someone who knows what they are doing.

Sarcoma's are easily misdiagnosed by many regular doctors who fail to recognize them.

Synovial sarcoma specifically is a cancer of the tissue surrounding the bodies joints, tendons, and bursae. It is very rare and usually occurs in young adults.

Your father can find support and information online at the Sarcoma Alliance:

Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative

And, join an email support group where patients and caregivers share information, resources, and support.

Hopefully your father has been diagnosed early and will be receiving treatment immediately.

Stay strong!
