Greetings to all!

Newbie here - thanks for participating and in advance for helping us with our concerns. Bless you!

Today I had my first radiation treatment for a MALT tumor of the parotid. It's been quite an autumn - I first noticed a swelling near my ear on Sept. 9. Since then, I've learned what a parotid actually is (never knew we had one), had CAT & PET scans, MRIs, surgery and now radiation.

Quite a whirlwind. I'm so glad you all are here!
