Acinic cell in parotid: what has been experience over time?
Hello,
I am 1 year post removal of a small acinic cell cancer tumor in my parotid that was also wrapped around a facial nerve. The surgery also took out multiple lymph nodes, which were all clear, and clipped the nerve. That resulted in a droopy lip and seems to be healing slowly. Now there is a band of numbness from my ear to my chin. I feel fortunate, no other treatment needed thus far.
I appreciate reading of other experiences with acinic cell here and see the last posts on this rare cancer were a few years ago. If any of you are still visiting the site, could you add an update? How are you doing over time?
Thank you.
