Mellay, Thank you so much for your quick response! It was very encouraging to hear that your menu broadened after 3 weeks. I'm looking for any encouraging info. I can share with my mom as she is somewhat discouraged right now. She will get her pathology report from surgery back Monday, so I think we're all apprehensive about that. Her mucoepidermoid was high grade when they first found it, and the surgeon said she would almost definitely need radiation to take care of any microscopic cancer cells that may be remaining. She was very encouraged to hear that I found someone with a similar cancer who was a little further along in the process but doing well.
One other question, did you have any facial or shoulder numbness following surgery, and if so, did it improve? Also, did you need any speech therapy due to the tongue difficulty? She is supposed to meet with a speech therapist on Tues. Thank you so much for sharing!
