Hello everyone,

Grandma is at my Mom's house now. She is probably sleeping now.....:-)) Guess what.....I had to come home to get my youngest son off the bus and I missed the doctor AGAIN!! I guess he came to my Grandma's room after I left....LOL

Mom did ask guestions.....not all the ones I wanted, but this is what she did find out.....

They are waiting to see what the biopsy report says, but we do know she is NOT going to have surgery. The biopsy today showed the cancer in her lymph node, gum and palate. The cancer is NOT in her lungs or stomach. The doctor said he was going to "cure" he used the words "cure" her cancer with chemo and radiation.

I asked mom if she asked the doctor (curative or pallative) care....she didn't.

My take on all this, correct me if I am wrong.....because she is 74 years old she could not handle the extensive surgery and reconstruction surgery along with Chemo and radiation. There is nothing they can do for her except make her comfortable until she passes on from this awful disease. I am guessing we are talking pallative care now.

My guestion, please be honest......

Because her cancer is so advanced will Chemo and radiation "CURE" this?

Just a little note.....thank you to everyone for being so helpful....and all your support.
