I have MEC of the Rt Submandibular Gland. Mine was found accidently when I had a CT to check a neck fusion. I had a needle bx and then I had surgery to remove the gland. It took 3 1/2hrs to peel the tumor from a nerve and other adjacent structures. April 1, I am having a neck resection and after recovery I will start 6 weeks of radiation. Yippee! My daughter is coming to be with me and take me to radiation treatments. I am having my treatment in a cancer center located 6 hrs away. My sister lives near the center so we can stay with her.My daughter is a big help to me because she has had Hodgkin's twice. She is considered cured now. She went thru chest surg, chemo and radiation. This web site has been a lifesaver for me. I am not worried about my upcoming surgery. That's a big thing.
