The Web can be an invaluable source of information and support for folks with cancer or their families. Some very good sites for general cancer information:

There are separate mailing lists for just about every form of cancer, including one as rare as leiomyosarcoma. List participants include doctors and patients, both with information on the latest treatments and clinical trials. To sign up for a list, go to:
http://www.medinfo.org/listserv.html
and select INTERACT. Find the list you want; click on it; then you can either join or review the list's archived messages.

You might also want to check out these USENET newsgroups:

sci.med.diseases.cancer
alt.support.cancer


Specifically for sarcomas, you can try Sarcoma Central. It hasn't been updated since 1995, but still contains useful links and info:

And finally, here's a recent journal article about the treatment of sarcomas:
