Where you are

Questions to bring to your care team
- Is the center treating us a sarcoma specialty center? For a child, is it part of the Children's Oncology Group?
- Would a second opinion at a sarcoma center change anything about the plan?
- Is there a frontline trial we should be asking about before treatment starts?
