Hi
My sister had surgery a year ago to remove a rare tumour from her cheekbone and her hard pallet. She lost a lot of bone in the operation and was left disfigured is only now coming to terms with it. She is only 30. Now they have discovered 2 lumps in her neck. She had a PET scan which came back normal so we celebrated this weekend then yesterday her doctor told her she has to have an operation on Monday next 8th. They will cut open her neck and remove the two glands they are concerned about and then they will have a pathologist look at them. If they are malignant they will remove all the glands around it and this could mean taking the muscle in her neck. She is completely devastatated. We all are. She is so angry and sad and said last night that she would rather be dead. My mother is finding this very difficult as my father died at a young age from lung cancer and the past year has been so rough on everyone and we feel like we are back to square one again. What can I do to help or to get everyone through this?
