What Is The Life Expectancy For Someone With Sarcoma Cancer?
My partner has sarcoma cancer which has now spread to liver and lungs . Just recently he has been very bad tempered and I cannot seem to speak to him without him having this anger going on. Does these other symptoms mean it is now going to his brain? and how long do you think he will now live for

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Sarcomas are highly aggressive blood malignancy. It can metastasize to all organs of the body. Liver and lung being highly vascular organs affect more.
Liver and lung metastases points towards worse prognosis.
And disease like cancer has great impact on psychosomatic behaviour of the patient. So anger and depression are very common in end stage cancer patients.
Better to deal these with discussion on rnd of life issues with patient.
And life expectancy is usually less than 4-6 years.
