Depends on the type of sarcoma. You don't have enough information. Is it a rhabdomyosarcoma? Ewings sarcoma? Osteosarcoma? Or, another rare sarcoma?

My mother had this kind of cancer and they told her she would only live 8 months. She lived for two years. Your friend she try and get into trial chemo therapy. Determination and chemo trials are what kept my mother alive for so long. She had a life too, until the last month I would say she was alive and living. Then that last month they kept her totally comfortable and had no pain.
