acoustic neuroma/vestibular schwannoma

[Guest guest]

After having spells of dizziness, an MRI was made,which showed a non-malignend

tumor, 16 mm large, around the eighth (vestibular) nerve in my left ear.

Apparently this tumor was seen on a CT 3 years ago as a 8 mm tumnor but as the

CT was made for another problem, no attention was given to this problem. Half of

the tumor is behind the ear bone and half in my brain. More than half of my

hearing at the left side is gone.

There are 3 options: waiting if the tumor grows, operation or radio surgery.

Who has experience with this type of tumor?

Thanks for sharing this information, Rosa
