Hello! Welcome to our little club @mjarmbruster !

Original discovery of my ameloblastoma was in 2007, followed by conservative surgery. Recurrence discovered in 2023. Both times discovered on a dental X-ray, followed with a biopsy by an oral surgeon and a long wait time for a pathology report.

Ameloblastoma tends to be slow growing, and tends to recur - which is why more radical surgery is typically chosen. That said, I have no regrets.
