Unfortunately he found out last year that his cancer had a recurrence involving his skull base and two "named nerves" as well as his left orbital nerve. He went through gamma knife last October. The good news was there was no new progression of his lesions in his last scans. So it should give him a couple of years maybe more. . Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma is rare like yours and not much research or treatment for it. But he is positive about living life to the fullest and takes it one day at a time.
