Diagnosed with Ameloblastoma

I submitted all of my scans, MRI's etc and today, within 3 days of contacting them, I heard back from Mayo with an appointment date for Dr. Arce. I was so excited that I felt like I won the lottery! Since this surgery on my maxilla is inevitable, I'm just pleased to have a physician who has experience in this area. I wonder how much time will be between the consultation and a surgery date... Since Diagnosed in April I've thought about nothing else, and at this point, just want to get it going. Feeling grateful to this forum for everyone's support.

I understand the anxiety you are facing. First moments of recovery with my wife in the hospital room I wrote on the dry-erase board “What have I done?”
But recovery was quick.
You are in excellent hands with Dr. Arce and his team. They have taught numerous folks around the world this unique procedure.
Feel free to ask me any questions about this upcoming surgery. When are you scheduled?
