My oncologist had to consult with his mentor in St.
He said they do not classify it as either benign or malignant because 1.) Their behavior is very unpredictable and 2.) It is so rare. They can be found in the extremities as well. My oncologist told me Spindle Cell Tumors are categorized as a sarcoma and are very rare, solitary, encapsulated and fibrous tumors, usually found in the lungs. In May, I had a Spindle Cell Tumor and a small margin of the surrounding tissue removed from my right groin area.

I wanted to follow-up with an update on my Spindle Cell situation and to also thank you all for posting your reponses and support! Please stay positive and have faith in God and the Doctors who treat you.įollowing Up to My First Post on Spindle Cell Sarcoma do not give up hope, if they have caught it early and no mets have occured to other organs (my aunt had 21 lung lesions from the spreading of the cancer) you could have good luck with treatment and a long life ahead. Trying now to determine if chemo and radiation will help to pro-long her life without making her sick for the rest of it. Our mom (her sister) was just diagnosed with in-operable pancreatic cancer. Sadly, she passed after a few months.we have tons of cancer in our family, I am a survivor, as is my brother. She was finally diagnosed, but it was at stage 4.so the docctors told us chemo and radiation were not going to help her. she had a terrible cough for several months preceeding this occurance. She had a lump on one of her shoulders that she thought she got from cleaning the top of a refrigerator, losing her balance and bumping her arm/shoulder hard against the gridge. I do not know much about this type of cancer only that I had an aunt who was 70 years old(two years ago)who was diagnosed with it.

With my husband's first surgery to remove the tumor they did not do chemo or radiation after removal and the tumor reappeared, he had a second surgery and will begin both radiation and chemo.īest of luck to you.I will keep my fingers crossed your report is not malignant and the doctor really did not have the full results and sending you as a precaution. However, that being said, reading between the lines, I see no reason to see an oncologist if there was no sign of malignancy in the pathology report. Saying it shows spindle cells but not confirming malignancy or not does not say much for the doctor. I cannot imagine any doctor relaying a pathology report without a clear diagnosis. Doctors should not try to spare the patient but be upfront and honest. Why the doctor did not explain this to you is beyond my belief. I don't want to scare you but if you are being referred to an oncologist it most likely was malignant. My husband was diagnosed with a tumor in his sinus cavity which also had spindle cells which were malignant.
