Did you get a second opinion at a major cancer center? If not I would suggest you do right away. Erik was right on when he said this is MAJOR surgery!!!
Take the time to research some of the older posting's, It will help you in becoming familer with this nasty diaease. Ask alot of questions of the doctors and write them down ahead of the appointments. You never remember when your there. Hoping for the best for both you and your Mom!!!
