Am I the youngest patient? :(

Hang in there, kid!  My son was 14 at the time of his first surgery for an AN.  He had a partial debulking, followed by Cyberknife at age 15 in Alabama.  His original tumor was about 4 cm.  After the reduction to slightly less than 3 cm, it was stable for about 3 years.  Now we are scheduled for surgery again at House in LA on June 7.  You young folks are so brave in the face of this challenge.  Joby has done fine through the years.  Yes, there are deficits.  He's totally deaf in his left ear.  The balance issues improved, but he's still a little clumsy at times.  He finished high school with honors, went to college and did ok, and has worked and lived out on his own until just recently.  Stay positive.  Know you are not the only.  There are people out there that can and will help you.  You can do this!
