Parotid gland tumor. Will need surgery. Your experience at Mayo?
I have just been diagnosed with a tumor in my Parotid salivary gland. Had the ultra sound and the MRI. Waiting for my fine needle biopsy results this week. Need a doctor who is an expert in this type of surgery. Anyone able to suggest one in Rochester. I will be traveling from Michigan. Any info will help. Thanks!

I'm taking Chemo instead of the risk of hitting a nerve anywhere in your face area - very risky too me!
I did the biospy, everything was ok and fast = all NHL B cell cancer. I'm losing some of my teeth due to this tumor. good luck to all cancer patients and surviors!!!!
My team there was dr eric Moore surgery and Dr daniel ma radiation oncologist
Excellent treatment and reconstruction (I lost my facial nerve)
