Jenny,

Thank you for the kind words and prayers. I was very surprised to hear from someone who also had angiosarcoma in the right atrium. We both have been very fortunate to have this cancer diagnosed and to have recieved the quality of care and results we have had. In a few weeks I will be returning to Mayo for my third screening since the end of my treatment. I wish you continued sucess and will pray all continues to go well for you!

I was so very happy to have read your story. I too was diagnosed with right atrial angiosarcoma in October 2008. It had spread to my lungs and liver. I have received chemo and had surgery in July 2009. The tumor was “dead” and all other areas are gone. I am a patient at MD Anderson but live in Kentucky. I will continue to pray for you and your family.
