I haven't seen one person with the same symptoms as my mom. She has a lump in her lip. The biopsy indicated that there were cancerous cells.(mucoepidermoid, squamous, clear, etc). Is this considered oral cancer or maybe it is something else? I am just so confused. I probably shouldn't be trying to diagnose her myself but if I am not researching, I'm panicking. By the way, this is an amazing forum. Thanks for the help.

CG to Mom. Dx 2/08. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the minor salivary gland in lower lip. Surgery 3/12/08. Margins clear but not clear enough. Surgery scheduled for 4/23/08. Surgery Successful. Clear Margins
