Tami, She had cancer in both tonsils and the uvula. She also had an enlarged lymph node but they didn't do a neck dissection. The last I heard, she was recovering nicely.

Does your mom have someone there in Texas to be her advocate and help her get through this? I know how rough this must be on you. My own parents live 3,000 miles away but are, fortunately, both healthy so far.
