If she ends up being seen out of state (for instance, at M.D. Anderson), you should ensure that your paperwork will be valid in Texas (or wherever you end up) as well. I don't know whether states have different rules about this; perhaps one of the lawyers here can enlighten us.

You are a very, very good friend to be helping her like this.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
