Emergency: Need someone who speaks fluent German and English to translate medical news to family?

TRIED using an "Online Translator" but the family said "The translated version made no sense". So, I need a real, LIVE, human being who speaks fluent English and German and can help with English - to German medical information to translate the following news: "The Thyroid surgery was only supposed to take 1 hour - but it took 4 and 1/2 hours because when the Doctor opened me up - he found that the cancer had spread to my windpipe and trachea. They had to scape as much cancer off the trachea and windpipe as the could - but there are microscopic cancer cells that no one can see - so, I will have to go for a P.E.T. Scan to find where else in my body the cancer has spread to so my doctor can come up with a Radiation and Chemotherapy strategy." Thank you in advance for your help. I have a German to English dictionary - but mine does not include the medical terms needed and it's also quite old. Thank you again!

1. "Die Operation an der Schilddrüse sollte eigentlich 1 Stunde dauern, hat aber 4 1/2 Stunden gedauert, weil der Arzt während der Operation entdeckte, dass der Krebs schon meine Luftröhre angegriffen hatte. Die Ärzte mussten so viel wie möglich von dem Krebs aus der Luftröhre abkratzen, aber es sind mikroskopisch kleine Krebszellen vorhanden, die keiner sehen kann. Darum werde ich zu einer PET-Untersuchung gehen müssen, um zu sehen, wohin der Krebs sich sonst noch in meinem Körper ausgebreitet hat, so dass mein Arzt eine Bestrahlungs- und Chemotherapiestrategie entwickeln kann." I am not a medical person, but from what I could find out, windpipe and trachea are the same thing!? I like to use this online dictionary: http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ It also has some medical terms, so it might help in the future.
