Have you heard of cardiac sarcoma?


Im just wondering if many people have heard of it. It is a very rare heart cancer. My sister passed away a few years of it, and when I told people what she died of they looked at me like I was crazy.

Yes. There are over 60 different types of sarcoma and angiosarcoma or cardiac sarcoma is included in that list.
