Hello

I found out on Dec. 21 I have mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
On Dec. 8 I had a tumor on the roof of my soft palet removed - my dentist found the tumor at a routine dental check-up - an ENT removed the tumor and a biopsy was done from there - so the tumor is out, I know it was cancer - but that's all I know. I was very disappointed in my ENT who gave me no information - just a diagnosis and a referral.
I'm now waiting for a call to set up an appointment at the University of Michigan Medical Center and am scared to death. I cried for two days and now am a little more composed.
I'm a 44-year-old mother of two, never smoked a day in my life and keep asking the "why me" and "what did I do to cause this."
Reading these posts has helped - but I still am on pins and needles with no real information to go by.
Just scared and nervous
