Hello Liz,
Of course I am praying right now, and will have her placed on our prayer tree.
Reading that she might not be a good candidate for surgery perhaps she would do as well as my mom did with the radiation, Erbitux, followed by the brachytherapy. I am still amazed at mom's continuing recovery. The hardest part appears to be the lymphedema from the neck dissection.
All the best to Alan and Maggie.
