To treatment ??
My brother was diagnosed weeks ago.They say he will need to go to seattle WA for treatment.But never say when.Always wanna do some more tests.Or send him over to anther Dr.So they can look everything over and they wanna do a test.

Tumor removed 3 weeks ago

Pathology came back squamus mucosa at the margin of what they removed


He had a MRI and CT scan last sat.Pet Scan last sun.Now they wanna do a needle biopsy tuesday.

Starting to fell hell never get to where every Dr Has told him
is the only place that can treat him.

Are they just parading him around cuz they have never seen this before?????????

There's a lot in this message that is confusing. Squamous mucosa is what the entire inside of a normal mouth is lined with, so there must be something more to the pathology report, or this is finding things normal. If they want to do a fine needle biopsy, this is likly not in his mouth, but in a node in his neck, meaning that the have suspicions from the scans that it has metastasized outside of his mouth to his neck. If he has had a surgical only solution to the cancer the first time around (no radiation and no chemo) it could be that the doctor didn't get it all, or has realized that there was a positive cervical node at the time that wasn't addressed, and he needs to go to the best place possible to get things back in control, and that would be a comprehensive cancer center, of which the university in WA is one of the best.

Once at a comprehensive cancer center, they will likely redo any tests that local doctors have done (to be sure they know exactly what's what since they are taking over treatments), so if they are saying that he needs more treatment, just get the referral from them and get to Seattle, don't waste any more time. Your posting says you are in Michigan, there are good centers near you, but I am assuming he is on the west coast.

adenoid cystic carcinoma sorry

In case you haven't found it on the main OCF website here is a page on ACC

If he was cancer skip the tests and stuff at the local hospitals and Drs. Get a referral to a cancer center. Don't wait - cancer is cancer - while you're waiting it can grow and spread. Despite the fact that they removed it there may still be some left. I had a biopsy on the 10th of December, was diagnosed the 20th, had my tests, the 21st, results same day, had a referral that day MRI the 6th of January ( would have been sooner but christmas shutdown interfered ) appointment with specialist January 12, surgery Feb 4th. So 6 weeks start to finish. Good luck!
