Dear Journal~
You can imagine our surprise when Grandma Nelson (Shonya) went in to have a simple procedure of removing a goader from her throat & ended up with cancer. There was a huge growth on her right side that stretched from her right ear down over her collar bone and into her chest. The left side that had what they thought was a goader, was another cancer growth about the size of a golf/ping pong ball.
After removing most of the growth on one side February 23, she returned to surgery on February 24th for the rest of the right & the left. Unfortunately her right vocal cord was removed and the left while incircled with cancer also was still working some.
The past five weeks have been difficult for her! Needless to say 3 surgeries, and 4 extended stays in the hospital have not been her choice of a club med vaction.
We are very proud of her and wish her all the best in a quick recovery! Love you Grandma! Shondell
