Thanks ConcernedDaugter

Yes I think your dad and my mom have similar cases. I'm so happy your father is feeling better. After you told me about your father wounds being packed I mentioned it to my mother. The Surgical Oncologist also thought it would be best to pack the wound. Thanks so much for sharing that information with me. It has helped a lot .
When the doctor mentioned the Tumor dieing due to losing its blood supply I got really happy. But then again I was reading about tumors searching for new blood supply in other parts of the body to survive. That wouldn't be good news at all. I guess its a wait and see what happens next.

But for now I'm happy my mother has also gotten some relief from the pain and swelling.

Thanks again
Heidi
