Definitely will come back again

I had my first operation in 2011, had adenoid cystic cancer of the submandibuler on the righ side of my neck.  I refused the radiotherapy.   Cancer reappeared in 2017 and had another operation removed all the silvery glands on the right.

This time i had Proton therapy in Plague sgsonsy my surgeon and oncologist advice.  During the proton therapy i did not have any ptoblems,  had energy ,i could eat everything eithout any problems.  3 days before the end my skin was pink and had a small mouth ulcer.   When i came back in UK my surgeon and ecologist  were very pleased and told me that i have made the right decision to have Proton therapy.  My latest MRI in December was clear.  As the proton therspy fid not effect my salivary gland on my left side i still ptofuce saliver on that side.  When i sleep on my left side my rite side of the mouth gets dry but when i turn on the right dide i am ok. Hope i will be ok for few more years j am 75 years old.
