HI! SORRY TO SAY THAT PROGNOSIS IN YOUR FRIENDS CASE MAY BE DISMAL AS THE TUMOR REPORT IS BAD --IT SHOWS A RAPIDLY SPREADING TUMOR WITH HIGH POTENTIAL TO PROGRESS & GROW --- SO NOW FUTURE PREDICTIONS NOW VERY MUCH DEPEND ON TH E SPREAD WHICH HAS ALREADY OCCURRED & THE CHANCES OF CONTAINMENT OF TUMOR & ITS RESPONSIVENESS TO TREATMENT ...THIS CAN BE WELL DECIDED BY CT SCAN OF THE SINUS & HEAD & NECK AREA ---DO CONSULT AN SURGICAL ONCOLOGIST /ONCOLOGIST
