Stan's Story | Salivary Gland Cancer Survivor

When he learned he had cancer, Stanley turned to Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center. Our proton therapy kept him free from cancer, side effects and taking sick days.

I had a cancerous tumor (mucoepidermoid carcinoma) removed from my paratid salivary gland two weeks ago. They found it while doing a petscan at my six month follow up for lymphoma treatment. It's been a tough year!!

Thank you for sharing your story. I wish I would have gone on with the radiation. I will ask about the proton therapy. Blessings!

im having a ct scan done today.
im quite terrified, im 34 with two daughters ages 3 and 5 and fear they wont remember me...

Hope all is well I had mine for a year before I got mine removed my biopsy was benign as well. We did not know until it was removed. My dr said it’s not a threat but at only 28 I’m nervous and it is hard find information on it. And is not usually found in people my age. Hope you are ok

my Mother was just diagnosed with salivary gland cancer, I'm so scared. We don't know really how bad it is yet. She was put down for some appointments for CT scans and other tests to figure out how badly it is.

I have been pain in my face when it chewing food.. Parotites gland could not produce sailava... I have tested FNSC my result is MILAN Category II (Non-neoplastic, inflamation). Is it a cancer or not???

Hi, my cousin sister is suffering from metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.. Her parents have spent all of their money on her treatment. Can anyone suggest if the treatment of this disease is being offered somewhere at nominal cost? She’s just 31 and has been suffering from cancer since she was just 10.. or maybe if anyone can suggest an ongoing Clinical trial on metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma, she would like to become a part of it.🙏

I just had a Parotidectomy and multiple lymph nodes removed on the left side of my neck. After the surgery was done the results of studying the tumor came back as Salivary
Duct Carcinoma. A very rare cancer and dose not have a good prognosis. I see my radiation oncologist tomorrow to discuss treatment options. Are there any new
treatments for this cancer. I am a fighter but have had a had time researching a cure or a way to prolong my life.

I have a lump around there, waiting for my scan
