What is sarcoma?


it is a desease

it is cancer of bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, and blood vessels. usually it produces no signs and symptoms in the early stages but as tumor grows, it may produce a lump or swelling and may cause pain if it presses on nerves or muscles. i have osteosarcoma in my neck, back, left knee and ancle. it is a severe and relatively rare form of cancer which requires urgent intervention if treatment is to be successful. there is plenty of info available- just type it into a search engine such as google!

It's a type of cancer, you can read about it here:
