I was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in January. Surgery was done to remove a tumor on my upper right rib.  They told me they got it all, and I return to see them every four months.  My problem is that I have ran a temp of around 100 for two months. The last two weeks I have experienced strong to severe pain across my shoulder blades. It feels like my lungs hurt.  My family doctor has given me antibiotics and still the fever persists.  He did a chest x-ray and said it was normal.  I feel like I get light-headed and could collapse.
Hi, Soft tissue sarcoma has got various subtypes. Treatment of soft tissue sarcoma depends on grade. High grade soft tissue sarcoma may need adjuvant radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Anyway your treating physician will guide you better. Malignancy often associated with fever, but other infective causes to be ruled out first. You should ask your doctor for testing your routine blood parameter. Type of fever should also be noted. Fever chart may be helpful. Consult your doctor. At present, it is not likely to be associated with malignancy. Take care.
