Ameloblastoma: a Patient's Perspective Damien Baldino

Being diagnosed with a health problem can be troubling. This anxiety is exacerbated when you've never heard of the problem you're facing, and don't know anyone else who has dealt with it, or even heard of it. In Ameloblastoma: A Patient's Perspective, I share my experience of being diagnosed with ameloblastoma, and undergoing a jaw resection and reconstruction. Throughout the book I share the small details those facing this diagnosis might find useful, along with some frequently asked questions, x-rays, and pictures of the tumor. When I first received my diagnosis, the lack of information and people familiar with my diagnosis caused further anxiety. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with ameloblastoma, I hope this book answers your questions and relieves some of your anxiety.
