Many patients after treatment and recovers survive and go on to thrive after being diagnosed with cancer. Please dont automatically jump to conclusions that your family members cancer is terminal. That is of course unless the doctors have said its terminal. From what I understand Mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell (MCC) diagnosed as low grade has a very high rate of survival.
