Hi, what kind of cancer did you have? I have Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma. Mine was int he minor glands in the roof of my mouth though. So no, I didn't have the same surgery you did. Check out my website. I have an information database full of info that might help you. www.mucoepi.com. Also, feel free to send me an e-mail if you want [moderator note: e-mail address has been removed].

I just joined this post today in search of anything that had to do with the SUBMANDIBULAR gland..I have just found out I have a tumor growing on it and just had 2 tissue biopsy's today..Because I am experiencing pain, and the fast changes in growth, I have more of a chance of this tumor being malignant...It would be great if you could please send me any info from what you have gone through

I am a first time user to the forum. I had adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submandibular salivary gland. It has been 18 years. I had to have my lower teeth removed because of the radiation. I am currently preparing to have implants so that i will not loose any more bone before there is nothing to wear a denture on. Is there anyone else out there who has gone through the same thing
