Hello,

It wasn't too long ago where I my family felt we had won the battle. My mom was diagnosed in August 2008 and underwent mandible reconstruction. We were worry free for a while. Earlier this year she had an enormous growth in her neck area that was also removed. Yesterday, I found out that the cacner has spread to lungs and lower spine. Will have an appointment with the doctors soon. Thoughts on how to handle this?
