Me and my family members have expressed our concern about this problem and the fact that they want to put her on chemotherapy but have felt like this surgeon and her cancer team are not communicatin with each other and are disatisfied with their aproach . Is this really safe to have my mother go thru chemotherapy at this time eventhough she is not healed and has this cloudy discharge?
