I agree with Christine... A ccc is a good place for her to be treated. The surgery will likely be very involved but could take care of the worst of it, with chemo and rads doing the clean up... She may opt out of chemo and rads, after the surgery... But if she's in good health she may do well. We're here to help you both if and when you need it. Take care and god bless.
