Acc Cancer

My son has been battling this insidious cancer since 2016. He has had two surgeries and two types of radiation. Unfortunately he is having the same symptoms he had in 2022 when we found out his tumor was once again growing he had gamma knife radiation and it seemed to stop the growth, with some shrinkage This cancer travels along the nerve endings and finds another path for tumor to grow. He is having an MRI on October 24th. Asking for healing vibes.
Thanks P

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

Has anyone had experience with this type of cancer? My son was dxed in 2016 has gone through two surgeries and two types of radiation. It has infiltrated his skull base and other critical stuctures. He received palliative gamma knife radiation last October. I do belong to the national acc group but was wondering if anyone on du had heard of this type of cancer. Also would love some healing vibes for him.

Thanks p in California

Update on my son since posting

He has had two scans that show no new progression. Has an appointment with Dr Rodrigues at Washington state in early May to see if he qualifies for clinical trials. He recently closed on a home in aberdeen wa. Five acres with a stream running through the property. His outlook is more positive in hopes of a few more years. Thanks again for all the positive vibes from this group. P


Update
Sadly my son is experiencing the same symptoms he had before his gamma knife radiation. Pain and lose of vision in left eye. He is scheduled for MRI on October 24. Need some good vibes for him. Thanks P

Hello all

Or should I say "hello again". I first joined du in 2006 but was shut out when du was hacked. I enjoyed reading everyone's post but didn't feel the need to sign back up. I really didn't post much anyway.
