Hello, i've been lurking on this site for 6 months gathering info for my sister. She was diagnosed scc bot cancer and is set for surgery end of this month. I guessing its a pretty brutal surgery which includes partialremoval of tongue and rebuild from forearm. Neck disection,peg,trach etc. and then
chemo and rad. My question is after she's released from surgery, what kind of care will she need? 24 hour? She will be moving in with my mother and we have a room set up for her, but just curious of the unkown. thanks for any insight.
