I have also been diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma, low grade. I have the tumour removed 1 week ago. The wound is healing and I am on tube feeding with a Freka-tube through my nostril to my stomach. I know very little about my illness as well. The histopathology report of the extracted tumour is still pending. I can't open my mouth wide now and can't brush my teeth. I get muscle aches from opening my mouth. But my dentist said that I should practise opening my mouth or the wound will heal and cause my mouth to be restricted in opening wide.

I don't smoke but is a social drinker and so don't drink very much. I was a chemist and handled lots of chemicals including carcinogenic chemicals. My dentist also mentioned that a recent research has proven links between cancer with oral sex.
