In September of 2003, my 26 year old brother was diagnosed with a sarcoma in his rib cage. The surgery was a very difficult ordeal because it was thoracic and was so close to the heart and lungs. It was a very long week for us (and his wife, who was 7 months pregnant at the time). He did not need chemo, however, since his cancer had been fully removed during the first surgery (the 2nd surgery was really a cautionary sweep meant to ensure full removal) and the 2nd biopsy showed no signs of cancer.
Three and a half years later; nothing. Other than residual effects of the surgery itself, he is as healthy as can be.
