Hi All,

I thought I would ask on this board...as you all have been so helpful

So, I am 10 weeks post resection on my soft palate (salivary gland tumor) after being diagnosed with MEC

I was fortunate that my Dr used alloderm and my tissue has regenerated micely and my "hole" has filled in rather well. I was told to watch/pay attention diligently to any symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain or fullness until my next followup/scan on Dec 7th.

Since my surgery I have had pressure against my inner ear and i have a hard time hearing in that ear. IT started to subside a few weeks ago but has come back and then some this past week. I also have a feeling on my soft palate, as if I am gagging any time I swallow. I am calling tomorrow for an earlier follow up but just asking here. Not trying to worry but we did not get clean margin on my resection so...I have that always on the back of my mind.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Linda
