I just went through surgery myself for tongue cancer. I have been with-drawn and kinda keep to myself more than I did. I know my parents are having a hard time with it. I think its because it is so scary and I try to be brave and do it on my own. I hope she feels better soon. Just keep trying to reach her. What kind of surgery did she have? Everyone is so nice on these boards and it helps a lot! I have found much comfort here!
