Hi everyone :)

Little update....

I and my husband have seen 5 different doctors (3 neurosurgeons, 1 radiation oncologist, 1 ENT who do skull base surgery) and one more to go in next week. ( I also got phone/e-mail consultation from a neurosurgeon who has treated over 2000 AN)
Because of the location and size of my tumor and my age, I basically have two treatment options.

Now that I am close to make a decision-I'll raise a new topic to ask about surgery and radiation in Post-op forum and want to hear from folks who had either treatments.
Diagnosed: 06/04/14
12mm x 6mm x 7mm AN
Seeking best treatment option! :)

Sorry I've been away a while.  What did you decide?
Dx 2.6 cm Nov 2012, 35% hearing loss.  Grew to 3.5 cm Oct 2013.  Pre-op total hearing loss, left side tongue numb.  Translab Nov 2013 House Clinic.  Post-op no permanent facial or other issues.  Tongue much improved.  Great result!!
