Hi Jim! Welcome. I would suggest that you call the NCI at 1-800-4-cancer
for lititure on angio sarcoma. There is very little regarding your
situation on the net.; however I do see where one can have angio sarcoma of
the bone; etc. It is impossible for us to grieve a prognosis; however the
cancer is a aggressive forming cancer. Good luck and keep us posted on how
your doing.
Warmly, lillian
We invite you to take a look at our Album.
