Welcome to the site! It sounds like your mother is off and running. Hopefully someone around here will have dealt with salivary gland cancer and can provide you with details. All of us have been on the patient or caregiver side of head and neck cancer and much of the treatment is the same. Good luck and your mother is lucky to have you by her side through this.
