I don't know what to say...your Mom is very brave...I am having surgery Friday second primary, I made it to five years from first time in May and thought I was cured, the good news, they are telling me it is in the soft palete only, they will biopsy something else from my tongue during surgery, just hoping for the best....Tell your Mom to keep fighting!!!!! I wish her all the best....Carol
