I am new here and have actually never done a forum like this before. I am a stage 4C salivary gland cancer patient with mets to my lungs. I was wondering if anyone has any connection to this type of cancer either personally or through a friend or relative. Apparently it is a rare cancer and I have exhausted all efforts trying to find someone with a similar Dx. Any thoughts,feelings experiences would be greatly appreciated
