NEW INFO REGARDING MILLIES CONDITION
18 November 2019Ben and Millie have met with her surgeon today to go through a treatment plan. Unfortunately her cancer is aggressive (stage two). The radiologists decided because Millie is so young and the side effects are to severe that she cannot move forward with radiation. They will revisit this in the future.
Millie will go back for surgery in around three weeks to have around 40% of her tongue removed to eliminate any cancer cells left. Her tongue will be reconstructed from tissue and vessels from her arm and thigh. They will cut open the same area they removed her 15 lymph nodes from which will allow them to connect the vessels from her new tongue to her neck so it will stay alive. Millie will have a temporary tracheotomy so she can breathe, a feeding tube as she wont be able to breathe or eat and will likely be in ICU till she is transferred to an ENT ward.
Millies recovery will be up to a year and she will need to learn to speak again.
All donations will continue to go towards bills, rent, and every day needs as Millie will not be able to work at all.
