Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
DIAGNOSED with a rare form of cancerous tumour at just nine years old, now 32-year-old Sonya has gone through major surgeries to remove most of her jaw. The condition, Ameloblastoma, usually originates on the jaw, as in Sonya's case. Her first symptoms were swelling on her face, uncontrollable tics and tooth pain. Throughout her life, she has gone through at least eight different surgical procedures to remove the tumour. Her biggest surgery to date was in 2018, when most of her jaw was completely removed. After surgery, she had to re-learn the most basic things such as eating, swallowing liquids and talking. Although she struggled with her new appearance at first, today Sonya feels more confident than ever thanks to the support of her family and friends

I too had the same cancer tumor. It has been about 20 years ago from the time they diagnosed it. At that time it was extremely rare. I have never met or knew anyone else have the same tumor. I am very grateful for my Dr Duccic here in Fort Worth Texas. He was able to remove my lower left jaw and replace it with hip bone as well as my right fibula. Is there a way that you can help me get in Touch with Sonya.

Just seen this. I was diagnosed with Unicystic Ameloblastoma 8 years ago. Had surgery and had a titanium plate acting as my jaw. It helps. You could maybe try it. I have had two more surgeries after that infact 3 weeks post surgery now and the progress is amazing. You can try that surgery. It will give you the jaw structure-Feel free to ask any more questions. You are Beautiful! -Sending love and hugs-

i always thought if i'd get cancer, i would go crazy and put in a mental hospital. last year at age 20 i actually got cancer and survived(didn't go crazy, in fact i cried for 2seconds when i heard it lol) you never know how strong you are until there is no option but be strong and hang in there.

Seriously, what is the issue with people. She is still a very beautiful lady. The only difference now is that she has a story to tell. Keep on pushing Sonya, your awesome.
