What a horror show. All that for nothing. Psychosomatic, indeed! How about
Candidal infection? Treatment with fluconazole would have saved this mother
a lot of problems and aggravation.  What was the surgeon operating on?  I
mean, don't you operate on "something". No lesion, leave it alone. Even with
lesion, sometimes better to leave it alone.

See websites below on some information on Candida and its treatment (see
Treatments for Problems, Fluconazole, Gentian Violet).
