I recently was diagnosed with salivary cancer in parotid gland, acinic cell carcinoma. Devastated is an understatement.

Receiving a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and it's completely natural to feel devastated right now. Many community members find that connecting with others who understand this journey, working closely with their medical team, and taking things one step at a time can help with coping - what has been most helpful for you so far?

I hear ya. I was diagnosed with throat cancer. Never smoked and always lived a healthy lifestyle. I am on the other side of treatment. Hang in there!

Got salivary cancer myself around April and had a lot of trouble dealing with it and wondering how you did (or are doing).
