[|Human|] i live in las vegas nv and my mom lives in upstate new york. she has been battling cancer in her throat and the doctor said that it is on the corited artery and he wont operate . my mom has alot of life left and i just want to find a doctor that would try to help her.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. The carotid artery is a major blood vessel that carries blood to the brain from the heart. It looks like your mother has a cancerous lymph node in the carotid triangle region. This is a delicate area and surgery is difficult. Therefore, is the throat cancer has spread to this area then it is best to provide treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy so that the lymph node reduces in size and this can mean that there will be better chances of her survival. In stage 3 and 4 throat cancer with carotid region lymph node spread if treated well can have a 5 survival of more than 36 percent and this is a good figure. Please take her to a cancer treatment where she has insurance and get her treated and she will live for long. Please do not worry.
