Story
ESPAÑOL:
Recientemente, he sido diagnosticada con un tumor en mi mandíbula izquierda.
Es nombre del tumor es Ameloblastoma. A los Rayos X tiene apariencia benigna, sin embargo, su crecimiento es similar al de un tumor maligno, destruyendo el hueso, y en este momento tengo un alto riesgo de fractura.
Estoy la espero de los resultados de la biopsia y en búsqueda de recaudar fondos para el tratamiento, que será quirúrgico.
La cirugía prevista en mi mandíbula izquierda es:
Hemimandibulectomía parcial con preservación del cóndilo mandibular. (Consiste en quitar gran parte del hueso de la mandíbula izquierda, cortando por el hueso sano y preservando la articulación)
Reconstrucción con Injerto óseo tomado del hueso de mi cadera y estabilización con placa de titanio angulada y tornillos.
Es preciso realizar previamente un modelo en 3D de la mandíbula para que el cirujano pueda darle forma a la placa y que ésta se pueda adaptar bien.
Los fondos recaudados son para pagar el costo del modelo en 3D, la placa de titanio, los tornillos, la cirugía, los medicamentos y la rehabilitación posterior.
