Oh my god, this is the last thing I wanted to hear after being off the board for almost a month. I can't believe this is happening to the two of you. May 1 is a Sunday. Is that the day her surgery is scheduled and what are they planning to do? Will they do a biopsy and diagnose it it immediately and do neck dissection as required or will she have to wait for results. I cannot imagine the trauma the two of you are now going through. Charlie and I are sending all the best vibes to both of you. Get her back on the board. She must be 'scared to death'. She needs to talk about it.
Your friend,
Eileen
