I was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma in October 2007 and had radical facial surgery November 20, 2007. The head and neck surgeon thinks he got all the cancer, but it had spread to the nerves in my face which resulted in removal of the external and internal cheek. Reconstruction was done with two skin flaps taken from my right thigh (12 inch scar). After 30 grueling radiation treatments and 12 weeks of recovery, I'm still having a difficult time dealing with the facial disfiguration which I will have for life. I just started seeing a psychologist to help with this, but I feel like the best help is from someone who's already been through this. I would love to her from you if you'r out there!!
