Well, it is good news that surgery was required. That implies that something was able to be removed. Can you provide a little more info. on her case? Has she had a second opinion, or has she been to a major cancer center? You say she is going for a clinical trail? How long has she been dealing with this? It is kinda hard to say what she should expect without more details - but she is not alone! I was diagnosed when I was 31, and there are others on here younger than that. I am sure you and she can find lots of support and answers to your questions on this forum.
Best wishes,
