    Greetings

    Greetings everyone! Nick from Wisconsin here. 29 year old police officer and army veteran. Diagnosed with Low Grade Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma located on roof of mouth in February of '17. After tumor was removed had several scans done to see if the cancer had spread, thankfully it had not! Second surgery was a few weeks ago and had a large amount of tissue from hard palate and soft palate removed as precaution. This tissue also after biopsy was found to be cancer free! No chemo or radiation scheduled. Although things are not normal right now and a bit of a struggle it could always be worse and thats what keeps my head up and looking forward. Onward to recovery! I'm hoping this website helps with my mental health regarding diagnosis. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or just to chat!

    Checking in

    The adventure continues.  Focusing on dental care and dental work.  I had the hyperbaric treatments in December and had two lower right molars removed with no problems.  Now I have to look into lower left molars. 

    The problem is NO saliva or bad saliva, so there is no good bacteria to keep my teeth healthy.  I now have a referral to see a dental specialist/oral surgeon at Stanford Medical Center.   The appointment is several weeks ago.

    Staying healthy -- 14 years since my NPC treatment...

    Best to all!
