Hello and welcome to Cancer Chat, coral_raha.

I'm sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis; it sounds like a worrying and confusing time for you all. 

Unfortunately, we can't offer an opinion about the treatment options he has been offered, however, we do have some general information about treatment for salivary gland cancer. It includes a section on treatment decisions, which may be helpful as an overview as to why doctors might suggest surgery, chemotherapy, and / or radiotherapy. 

I hope that's helpful as a starting point. Perhaps you could go back to your father's medical team with a list of questions you have about his treatment? 

We wish you all the very best with it and hope it goes well.

Helen
