be that the grim outlook is based on "not enough data". I know am
reaching here, but hope is very important to a patient. I mean this is
not like breast cancer. I hope I am not bombarding you with questions.
You have been kind enough to reply to the previous messages.



Well, there's rare, and then there's rare. It is not considered rare as salivary tumors go, but then malignant salivary gland tumors are certainly not very common. It is also quite possible that the outlook has improved lately, but I'm assuming you are working with an oncologist who should know details about this tumor, or refer you to someone who does.
