A meningemas brain tumor was discovered in 2018 while in the hospital for something totally unrelated. I've bee watched by a neuro-surgeon for that ever since. He continues to push for removal and chemo and radiation. I am now 89 and still refusing. He and I continue to follow the brain tumor (now with a large attached edema) with MRIs with and without contrast. In the Fall, he advised me that he'd been seeing a parotid gland tumor in my left cheek but the mass was now growing. I finally got an appointment with an ENT who sent me to the hospital for an outpatient biopsy which was recently done. Bottom line is they are just watching. I have no pain from either tumor (brain or parotid gland) and nothing visible inside my cheek or outside. At my age, I am not looking to do anything "eventful" but I am concerned. My mouth seems dry all the time, I have noticed. And my teeth roots seem to be march fast, thus causing extractions. The teeth I still have are all my own, but I'm wondering if this parotid gland malady is now affecting the roots of the left side of my teet,
