16:05 I had two TGCTs removed from my jaw and skull base in February. 20 hour surgery. 3 surgical teams, head and neck cancer team, neurological surgical team, and facial plastics. Mine was incredibly rare due to location and malignancy. John Hopkins performed the surgery. Flap was taken from my thigh to place over prosthetic jaw, portions of my skull were also removed. ICU for 10 days. On Turalio now. They did a fantastic job. Saved my facial nerve. Eating walking talking and working fine less than 6 months after procedure.
@@kurtwittman9465 so glad to hear you’re okay! You are indeed rare. We have another patient in our community with TGCT of the TMJ if you’d like an introduction. You can email me at SStern@tgctsupport.org and I can introduce you both :)
