Sarcoma Awareness Month 2026
‘Life Goes On’ is not about pretending that any of this is easy. It is about showing that identity is stronger than a diagnosis – whether that means celebrating physical milestones, adapting to tough new routines, or finding purpose and connection through grief.
Sarcomas are uncommon cancers that can affect any part of the body, on the inside or outside.
Signs and symptoms:
- A lump which is growing, changing, or bigger than a golf ball
- Swelling, tenderness or pain in or around the bone which may come and go and may be worse at night
- Stomach pain, feeling sick, loss of appetite or feeling full after eating only a small amount of food
- Blood in either your poo or vomit
It is important to remember most lumps and pains are not sarcomas, and this list doesn’t cover everything.
If you have a lump, it’s important to be aware of any changes that may occur, so that you can keep your GP informed of your symptoms.
