Rucurrence
« on: July 17, 2006, 02:05:28 pm »
I had a 2mm. AN removed in 2000, but in the past few weeks have expreienced symptoms that concern me.  I am having pain in my ear, side of mouth and side of tongue.  Has anyone had this problem, or a rucurrence of tumor?
Thanks,
Kay Hayes

Kay,

I had an an return after 3 years following middle fossa surgery. I suggest you get yourself an MRI (with contrast) just to make sure. It could be anything, even an infection. My returning AN didn't cause me any pain - discovered it through regular MRI's.

Kay: my regrowth did not apparently cause me any pain, it was just found by MRI done to rule out another problem

My tumor has regrown after 10 years.  I had MRI's every year for 5 years following surgery.  Then every year and a half to two years after that.  Only last year did we find the regrowth.  I am waiting and monitoring it now.  Go get a MRI to put yourself at ease.
