Breast Angiosarcoma

Hello everyone-


I'm not a frequent poster but I could use some help. My mom was just diagnosed this week as having angiosarcoma in her breast. We are waiting to hear if it spread anywhere else.


Does anyone have any information about this or know anyone who has had it? All I've seen from the internet is that it is very rare.

ANY help would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I don't have an advice but make sure you stay on top of your doctors.

I wish your mom the best of luck. I hope it didn't spread anywhere and she makes a rapid recovery!

Re: Breast Angiosarcoma

i am assuming this is a type of cancer?

my mom is a stage 4 survivor ---hers was extremely rare as well, but i don't recall the specific name for it. i have had my own cancer scare (benign thank god) but i have had a lumptectomy and go for bi-annual mammos and sonos. i am only 31.

I also have an EXCELLENT breast surgeon should your Mom need.. she saved my mom's life and did a great job on my surgery.

HUGS to you and mom!

Feel free to FM......
