@anbar , really happy to read your update! I'm nervous waiting for my daughter surgery next month. Hope everything goes smooth. Anbar, may I know what kind of resection you went through? According to my daughter case, the oral surgeon will do the marginal resection, which preserve the continuity of the mandible. Is this similar with your case? Or you went through the segmented resection?

First of all it’s ok to be nervous especially when it comes to your own child but I will say this while the first few months may be challenging, you and your daughter can get through it if you maintain your support and willingness to be there throughout the big changes and the small ones. When it gets difficult do not be afraid to share the strength with your daughter and remind yourself that you will never be put in a situation in which you cannot handle. Your daughter is young and I can never imagine how she is coping but know that at the end of all this she will most definitely be a better and more brave person than she was before so there is endless positives to this journey!

My personal experience was that we did a full reconstruction of my jaw straight away we didn’t opt for the smaller resections just because I waited for my surgery to be after my school exams! Feel free to ask any questions we’re all here and keep us updated and remember everything will fall into place 💕
