Yes, it sounds like your mother will get a review of how the surgery went and what they have planned next for her. You will be surprised at how well shes doing in a few weeks.

During recovery try to get your mother to eat all her favorite foods as during rads her sense of taste will change, swallowing may be difficult, and she could have mouth sores. She could require a feeding tube for her sustenance. During her next 5 weeks push her to take in at least 2500 calories and 48-64 oz of water every single day. If she is on the thin side push to get even more like 3000 calories a day. I cant stress enough how vitally important intake is during rads and recovery. It must be your single most important task to monitor. Next is her pain management so make sure to relay everything (no matter how minor it seems) to her medical team.

Best wishes!!!
