Update as of today (May 18)

The Peg Tube will be inserted next week. There will be NO surgery any time soon. Once they see her able to handle radiation and chemotherapy they will start.

According to the children, she is the one that wants all the treatment done. So it is the patient's right to be treated.

The questions is if she can handle the radiation and chemo. There is no way to tell. Based on the last chemo, she had a very difficult time.

Question:
If the tumor or lesion on her face is not removed, will radiation and chemo heal the wounds? Will it increase in size?

The tumor that she has is this fast spreading??

Thanks again
