Alpaca Thanks for your reply

The RO said the swelling was caused by Lymphedema .But as time went on it was getting worse and ear pain started and also worsened. So the Oncologist ordered a CT scan which came back positive for Cancer so a MRI was ordered and came back with the same result. So now its a recurrence and surgery No 2 is scheduled for next week 9/23/14 . We are so disappointed that the Radiation didn't even stop the cancer from recurring so soon. It has only been 5 and a half months since her first surgery and only 3 months since radiation stopped. The Oncologist explained that if my mom doesn't have surgery she would only have 6 months to a year survival .
