Welcome! I am afraid I can't really answer either of your questions but I know there are people on here who can and will! As you will see, most people on here have squamous cell carcinoma. I am one of the few with mucoepidermoid CA. I am going through radiation right now. I was encouraged to see your post and especially to see that you have been cancer free for two years!! All I keep hearing from the doctors is what an aggressive cancer this is, so it is definitely an encouragement to hear from someone who is doing well!! Thanks!
