Superior Vena Cava Obstruction

Good Evening: I know that I'm posting these issues because of my sister-in-law's issue. Today she found out that she has a tumor in her neck - called a superior vena cava obstruction. Doctor says she will be fine - but needs to be on Chemo ASAP and she's very nervous (as I am) Has anyone had this?

Sorry, can't help directly with this one and I too would be nervous. However, the doctor would not she will be fine unless he believes this to be the case so I guess she just has to try and trust him. Easier said then done of course. Sending love xxx

Hopefully well. She goes for her 1st scan next week. Saw a vascular surgeon and he was very happy with what she's been doing so far.
