Why cant the hospitals be more helpful when they send you the appointment letter like, dont bother washing your hair, wearing makeup & wear a top that you can pull down over your shoulders would help! I go back on the 11th Nov for further xrays to compare to my ct scan so the dr can decide what my prescription is going to be. Despite the surgery it now feels like reality has hit. Not sure if Im tired because I have ACC, or because I know I have ACC or because Im waiting for treatment!! I praise my hubby for putting up with me & my moodies! Surgery to remove tumour from on top of saliva gland 3rd August 09. Biopsy revealed adinoid cystic carcanoma. Further surgery 28th September 09 to remove saliva gland, nerve to top lip (buccal branch) & scar tissue. Radiotherapy finished 30 Dec 2009 IXA x 33 (60gy).
