I'm sorry to hear, and we were all hoping it wasn't. MEC, which is rare, mainly effects the salivary glands, mostly in women. Surgery is the mainstay, and can include radiation, I believe. There is a whole page on this at the opening page that I can't link it right now with my iPad, but that would be a good start. I'm sure your doctors will tell you more, and depds on the type grade.
