I was diagnosed with oral cancer in early summer, had surgery late July which removed an almost 3cm tumor and a good portion of my soft palate with a hole going up into my sinus cavity. I was told it was a stage II mucodermoid carcinoma, now I've tried many searchs but haven't come up with any info on 'mucodermoid' (or even muco anything) and would like more info if anyone would be able to direct me to where I can find it.. The hole in my mouth is reducing (yeah! ) and with my obtrator I am able to eat fairly 'normally'.. still sound kinda nasally, but I can't (and won't)complain! There was a small lump that had developed in my 'hole' about 1 month post-surgery that was biopsied and found to be negative, my MD is having me in for monthly check-ups to 'keep an eye on things'... so anyway any info would be appreciated

Thanks & Keep the Faith!
