3 months agoOne of my dear friends just had surgery last week to remove cancer in her salivary glands. She hasn't gotten her results back from pathology yet, so not sure what type of cancer she had. I will post again as soon as I find out.

3 months agoThank you! It looks like i will have 6 weeks of radiation, 5 times a week after I have a root canal. Apparently, you shouldn't have a tooth pulled afterwards. Chemo is not an option for this cancer. Best to you and your friend.🙏🏾
