Hi,  I have just been diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma . I have a 31mm tumor in the base of my tongue . Ive been told this is chemo resistant , so has anyone had a tumor in the tongue and can advise on treatment , surgery etc?

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I don't have any experience with the type of cancer you have but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.

    As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you also join and post in the head and neck cancer group as I'm sure there'll be people there with the same type of cancer as you.

    To join just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
