Moments in Sarcoma
It could a moment of courage, compassion, feelings you may have had as a patient of friend of a patient. These will be published on the Team Sarcoma website.

Jennifer had a Nerve Sheath Tumor like I have. She also had Osteosarcoma. It took me one second after reading her story to say SCREW THE ECONOMY and I donated to this foundation and to the Sarcoma Foundation of America so they can continue to fund clinical trials, patient education and support.
Please consider donating a portion of your tax refund to either Liddy Shriver, Jennifer Yates Foundation or the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
About Me
- Kathy
- Most of the time, I'm sitting here raising 2 sassy teens who know everything and a bossy toddler who has the attention span of a gnat. I'm picking out the gray hairs daily. Please send hair dye. In 2006, my already complicated life became more complicated when a large tumor was removed from my upper thigh. The tumor was a Sarcoma, a rare cancer for which mainstream treatment options are limited and few and I was propelled into a world of experimental therapies. I blog here about the mundane intermixed with the unthinkable and continue to work for remission while raising children as a single parent.

Kathy, do you know if Brivanib is working? I wish you good luck.
I find out the results of my first 6 weeks on Brivanib, tomorrow. I'm really nervous.
