High Grade, Aggressive, Undifferentiated Stromal Cell Uterine SARCOMA

The worst combination of words to say to any Oncologist. From what we have learned in the past few days, Mama Pham has a life threatening cancer that is so uncommon most cancer doctors will never meet a patient with this condition in their entire medical career.

The type of Cancer that Mama Pham has is so rare that when researching it, the cancer is not even listed on the American Cancer Society website. According to our world renowned Sarcoma Specialist Oncologist, less than a hand full of cases are diagnosed a year -GLOBALLY! Mama Pham hit the jackpot on this one, its just too bad this is not the kind of jackpot that you would want to win.

When he sat down to explain to us what Mama Pham had, he said this...
Of all the cancers in the world, Sarcoma makes up less than 1%.
From the Sarcoma population, around 10-15% are in the abdomen and originate in the female reproductive system.
From that tiny population, less than 1% have the classification that Mama Pham has.
Bottom line- there have not been enough patients to test the different drugs on. No one has mastered treating this.

The problem is that the cancer is incredibly aggressive and grows exponentially from one single cell. The bigger problem is that the period at the end of this sentence has more than 1 million active sarcoma cells.  So when the surgery occurred, the small trace amounts left behind have now invaded and taken over most of Mama Pham's body.

Mama Pham experienced what doctors call upstaging meaning she went from a less than a "stage 1" to past "stage 4" cancer in less than two weeks. So as you can see time is of the essence. Our best bet is to "blast" her system and the cells asap!

Our prayers are now "Please let this Chemo regime slow down the growth if not stop it's growth all together."
