Has anyone been diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the tongue?

20 hours agoHi... Has anyone dealt with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the base of the tongue.. That also appears to have moved into 3 lymph nodes on the left side. I'd love to get some insight because I was just diagnosed at the beginning of August and it seems to have taken the doctors by surprise. Sincerely, Torie
