[MOL] Re: Angiosarcoma



Hi all,

I've been doing some research for a friend of mine.  Her father-in-law was 
just diagnosed with angiosarcoma.  He's currently got a red blotch on his 
head and they are telling him it is a very uncommon and very aggressive 
cancer with a pretty depressing survival rate.  Also that radiation is the 
only treatment.  I'm looking at lots of links and all, but is there anyone 
out there who has personal knowledge of this type of cancer?

By now, we all know that survival percentages are only something that 
mathematicians play with to amuse themselves... and that we're either 100% 
alive or not...  I'd like to find out enough to help them ask all the right 
questions and make treatment decisions that will stack the deck in his favor. 
 Her father-in-law is 87 years old and is in no mood to give up!  :-))

Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.
