Sarcoma of soft tissue of the jaw

Someone mentioned sarcomas at PMQT today but I can’t remember what they said other than that you can get sarcomas in any part of the body.How worrying for you. Yet another reason why it’s important that people have access to dental check ups. Fingers crossed that whatever it is they’ve caught it really early. We never stop worrying about our children do we…

Just to say I hope everything is done speedily with a good outcome.
I can’t help but wanted to send best wishes.
She is being seen quickly and of course you will all worry, it is natural.

I am currently on the two week wait but not for the same thing.
I go next Wed.
I also have a 40 year old daughter so understand your concern. Xx

Thanks for kind thoughts - I hope there is no need for worry. Fingers crossed.

Best wishes for good outcomes Lucky and Primrose. 💐💐

Best wishes to you and your daughter, Luckygirl I hope all goes well.

Hold on - and best wishes to you daughter.

I went on the 2 week wait January, was seen within two weeks had first op within a month and second op within second month Last month had check up and am free just need regular checks now Not the same area of the body at all but just wanted to say they are really on the ball with early treatment
You can’t help worrying but fingers crossed all will be dealt with at early stages Thoughts go to you and your daughter Luckygirl and good luck Primrose

Best wishes to you and your daughter.

Sister had very nearly the same and had a sarcoma piece removed off her face day surgery. She’s fine. Hope all goes well for your daughter.

Some positive experiences which is good

luckygirl as if you did not have enough to worry about! The NHS appears to be really good re the 2 week rule. I was seen well within the time. I was lucky, mine was negative-a mole at the top of my femur which was changing size and colour.

I hope she went to her GP as soon as she realised she has a problem.

Sending best wishes for your daughter.

Best wishes for you and your daughter. It’s always stressful waiting for any results. 💐

Luckygirl , my older brother had ‘cancer’ of the jaw. He was older than your daughter, about 57, I think. The tumour was removed, along with a part of the jaw. He had a prosthesis, very much like a denture. He lived for a long time after that. However, he was a functioning alcoholic, which resulted in cirrhosis of the liver, and that took him, when he was about 69. Your daughter will have the best treatment, which I’m sure will be successful and she will go on to live a long and happy life. I wish her, you and all the family, all the best

Best wishes to all those going through difficult times

No experience to share Luckygirl but wanted to send you and your daughter best wishes. 💐
And for you too Primrose 💐

Very best wishes to you and to your daughter .

Primrose53 - sending good wishes for your appointment.

Hopefully my DD's lump will just be a benign lipoma. I am glad that they are getting on with things and she is on the 2 week pathway.

Good news .... they do not know what the lump is and would only be able to tell by excision and biopsy. However they are convinced it is not malignant and she is to keep an eye on it and go back if it changes in any way. Phew!
