Hello Treeclimber62

We mainly advise on primary lung cancers, Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer which affects the connective tissues in the body and although it is present in your lung the treatment for it will be very different form a primary lung cancer.

Sarcoma UK is a dedicated charity for this type of disease, they offer dedicated support and information

I can only echo the response already - the best place to find information and support is Sarcoma UK, founded by a colleague in cancer research and advocacy, Roger Wilson.... who also experienced lung issues for which he was treated. the charity is very active and provides a lot of information to support patients and their families. good luck
