Cancerous tumor in thumb, what are the treatment options? Holistic healing, positive thinking etc.?
am 28 yo, and had a tumor taken out of my thumb recently. The orthoepeadic surgeon says that the results from the pathologist says its a malignant tumor (Epithelioid Sarcoma) and I need to get my thumb amputated. I intend to get a second opinion on that.
But am wondering if they indeed amputate the thumb, how is life without a thumb? Has anyone had that experience? They also mentioned that they could replace the thumb with a toe from my foot, but I am not very keen on that as I don’t want surgery in two places.
Does anyone know of any sucessful treatment for cancerous tumor in the thumb without amputation? I am open to holistic healing, and alternative therapies. I am also considering ignoring the whole thing and just doing positive thinking and meditation. Has anyone able to cure themselves or their relative with just positive thinking and mediation?
Thanks in advance fro everyone who answers!
Additional details: I have had this tumorous growth on my thumb for about 2 years. It never caused any pain. I didn’t go to the doctor thinking it wasn’ that important.

I don’t know anyone without a thumb, but I have several acquaintances that have lost or damaged fingers. The key to doing well is to carefully and rigorously follow the physical therapy plan you are given. It is crucial to keep the tendons and muscles limber while they heal from this.
As for the toe implant, I imagine that’s a decision you can make later. You might want to talk to some people (yahoo is a good place to start, but I will bet there’s a discussion group that discusses just this topic on line somewhere) who made the decision both yes and no to see what their thoughts are down the road.
Talk to your doctors about how your age influences their recommendation. Is your hand or foot likely to suffer down the road when you have so very many years left to use them?
You are not alone in thinking that this tumor was nothing - its often diagnosed late because that’s what most people think. But your experience is one of the reasons why people should see their doctor when something unusual is going on with their body that lasts for more than a few weeks.
Best of luck to you as you decide what the right course of treatment is for you.
