Hi

I have been diagnosed with having adinoid cystic carcanomia after having a 'benign' tumour removed from on top of my salvia gland. My dr told me yesterday that they need to reoperate to take out some of my salvia gland, the nerve to my top lip & some scar tissue to be followed by radiotherapy. Im positive but scared. Has anyone else had this done? It would be good to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thankyou.

Surgery to remove tumour from on top of saliva gland 3rd August 09. Biopsy revealed adinoid cystic carcanoma. Further surgery 28th September 09 to remove saliva gland, nerve to top lip (buccal branch) & scar tissue.
Radiotherapy finished 30 Dec 2009 IXA x 33 (60gy).
