13 years since acoustic neuroma surgery! I'm thankful and blessed to make it through the struggles and accepting my new normal! Face numbness and loss of hearing remain, headaches have diminished over time! Praise God!
Megan
I had a 3.5cm acoustic neuroma surgically removed on 6/26/23. Here is a photo of our family vacation last week hiking in Banff, Alberta. We live in Austin, TX so the break from the heat was fantastic. What was even better was I was able to hike with my husband and kids again with balance and strength I haven’t had since pre-surgery. It was a long road to recovery but life is good! (That’s me on the left).
Yvette
Just celebrated my 7th ANniversary from retrosigmoid surgery and 10 years since diagnosis. I am so grateful for my successful outcome and my strength to keep pushing past the balance issues, headaches, hearing loss, etc. and enjoy this life!
