Although it will be difficult, I think for now it is a matter of waiting to see what the tumour is. You suggested that they have decided to do surgery - I am assuming that the doctors have discussed any options and your relatives are satisfied that this is the best approach.

If this is so, then surgery should allow for a more definitive diagnosis. They will probably send a sample for histological evaluation. At that time everyone should have a good idea of what the tumour really is and the prognosis.
