Hey Tommy,

Sorry to hear of the news. I couldn't imagine the feeling seeing my mother getting what I had. I'd much prefer to be in my shoes fighting it myself.

What others have said already is great advice though. It looks like she's been diagnosed very early if they aren't doing radiation/chemotherapy. I'd been to local doctors 3 or 4 times with my 'ulcer' over a 4-6 month period before they finally did the biopsy . That was almost certainly the difference between me catching it early and preventing the spread. Unfortunately by the time they sent me for a biopsy it had spread into my neck.

It's never good news if you've been diagnosed with cancer. But it's extremely positive that she's caught it quite early by the sounds of it.

All the best mate,
Dave
