[cancercured] Where do tumors go when they die?

My mom's primary sarcoma tumor is in her upper, inner left thigh. You
can feel it. It's about 11 cm by 14 cm. Her onco said that she'll
probably know if her treatment is working before the PET scan in two
months since she'll be able to tell it's shrinking in size.
I know that tumors can shrink, but can the cancer cells also just DIE,
but stay there? I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible that the
cells are dying, but the tumor not shrink?

Thanks,

Erin
