Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Your aunt needs a second opinion to see what can be fixed, if surgery was botched.
Or it may be that one of the risks of surgery (that your aunt should have been informed of) came to be.

Yesterday, what did her own doctor tell her about her prognosis?

Best,
Susan
