Hello everyone, my name is carey, and I am 24 years old. My mom carolyn, is 60-something years old, and has been diagnosed with squamous-cell cancer of the lymph glands. This is a skin cancer, and so they are still trying to figure out how she got it in such a strange place. It is closing off her lymph gland at her left hip, making her leg swell from that point downward with lymphatic fluids. She is doing well considering... There is much more to the story than I am telling, but things are busy right now and I must go... I was just wondering if anyone else had heard of this kind of cancer infecting someone in such a strange place? It has my mother's doctors baffled. Thank you!

Hey
My mo was just dignosed with another form of rare cancer that has the doctors confused. She is a healthy 54 year old women and has no other risk factors. They say she has bile duct cancer but the one thing you need to remember is that no matter what it seems like it is going to be ok. The most important thing you can do is to be positive.
