I have not been on this site for a while, but with reading your posts I can certainly relate to what your husband has been through. I also have Salivary Gland cancer. I had a neck dissection, with lymph node, carotid artery , and facial nerve involvement.I followed up with chemo and IMRT radiation also.This all took place back in 2006. While recovering from effects of chemo and rad. A follow-up CT revealed mets to my lungs. I am on a watch and wait approach. I feel wonderful and do not have any symptoms. My onc. believes that within 6-8 months symptoms could start to appear. At that time he would reccommend treatment.
I have always been looking to speak with someone who has actually had a similar experience. You had mentioned a friend in Ca. that has Salivary Gland cancer also. What is her situation, if you don't mind me asking?
Stay strong in your care giving. My best to your husband. There are better days coming for him!!!!!!!!! Pam
