Hi, my mom was recently diagnosed with stage 3/4 mucoepidermoid of the salivary gland, following neck dissection. She had some node and nerve involvement, and has been told this is a very aggressive cancer and needs to be treated aggressively. Today, the medical oncologist said she will be treated with 3 doses of cisplatin at the beginning, middle, and end of 7 weeks of radiation. Has anyone gone through a similar combo of this drug? What kind of results did you get? The docs are indicating that they rarely see this type of cancer and there is no real "protocol" for its treatment. Any suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks, Marie's daughter
