I've just been diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. We saw head and Neck Cancer Specialist on 8/20. Going back tomorrow for treatment plan suggestions - He wanted to consult with doctor who did the excisional biopsy. Also going to see Radiation Oncologist tomorrow as well. What kind of questions should I be asking?
The pathology report showed a negative margin- so He initially advised that doing nothing was not a good idea. So are we to assume that a negative margin means cancer is still there?
Also- the PET scan showed spot on my thyroid so I have a biopsy on that next week. Is that something that is treated in tandem with these doctors or is that a whole other set of doctors?
