The lump under my tongue was diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The ENT Dr. Ford in all his wisdom decided not to do a biopsy on the tumor but to remove it. It came back cancer, mucoepidermoid carcinoma. According to my surgeon Dr. Eisele, if they had done a biopsy back in 07 I would be in alot better shape than I am now. Also according to my RO Dr. Ally if they had caught back in 07 it might have been low grade and I wouldn't have had radiation. It was definitely mucoepidermoid carcinoma back in 07 there is no question regarding my diagnosis. Just that some doctors are bumbling idiots who shouldn't have a licence to practice medicine. I was told this cancer is very rare and aggressive by my surgeon. After diagnosis I went in for for my 2nd surgery. No Chemo isn't indicated because I have no metatasis. Don't know my complete timeline have to get on that. Happy Holidays, Shelly
