Hi! My MIl was diagnosed last week with Cnacer. She is going on the 3rd to MD ANderson in Orlando to have tests run. They found the cancer cells in a lump in her lymph node on her neck. They are going to try and find where it originally started. I am so worried for her. We were never really close, yet, both my in-laws hae turned to me as of late and call me daily. Sometimes to cry, some times just to talk.
I have never dealt with cancer so close to home- I am not sure I know enough to help them, so any way to research- what should I be looking for- what questions to ask would be so helpful from you ladies here.
My helped my brother when he was diagnosed with HIV and later when he had AIDS and through his passing. I have a feeling that this will be similar. From what others have told me once it spreads to your lymph node system it's pretty much a cone deal. Hopefully you guys will tell me this is not the case.
Glad to know this board is here!

Thanks you she was told is is "metastisized squamous" neck cancer? I think that is right... they are planning on doing
