Informed at EHC of my KCOT diagnosis.

I wish everyone in this group the best and thank the participants for such a supportive environment. My dentist and my first oral surgeon (who wound up not treating me) were pretty sure the mass on my mandible was an ameloblastoma, and so I read all about resection and bone grafts and got pretty scared. However, based on the biopsy and CT scan results, I was instead diagnosed today with a Keratocystic odontogenic tumour, still major surgery but not a mandibular resection. I’ll be leaving this group in the next few days but wanted to express my appreciation of the community here. (18:37)
