I am right handed and my tumor is on the left side. Is there a pattern between handedness and which side the tumor developes on?

I'm a lefty with a left-sided tumor. I used to be an artist with great penmanship. Now my handwriting is trashed. It's like I had a stroke and have to retrain my hand from scratch. That bothers me even more than the single-sided deafness. It's been a little over a year since surgery. Maybe it will improve in another year? I can write but only print very slowly. The lettering has the look of a child's scrawl. Horrible.

Isn't it that in general, there is a significant majority of right-handed people in society?
AN's seem pretty evenly spread across sides. Not sure of the relationship left/right handed and AN side

Right handed with right side AN!

So far it is apparent that left vs right is darn near 50 50. It would be more work but I wonder how gender factors in. I just had mine out so I refuse to do the math

Very female! (quiet and with-drawn) :)

In the light of morning, my last post is quite hilarius. I'm surprized I didn't get turned into the moderator
Richard
-
you had your gender out Richard? I thought this was an AN forum! ;D
Lorenzo
-
I must have been half asleep with that one Richard and Lorenzo, I missed the gender out! Now I have to get my Depends out!

:-X
"Holy Tornado!" What is this forum coming to? I think I'll leave and go have another surgery. (out the door, now!) No, not a gender change.........having shoulder surgery this morning.
My AN ear might have ear-drum surgery when I go to the ENT, next Wednesday. It still is totally plugged with pressure.
I hope this post finds all of you in good humor. (my last post being able to type anything for awhile; maybe I can talk my husband to write all of you once in awhile)
Cheers,
Palace

Good to know you're safe and sound Palace!
Take your time to recover from that, and typing (even one handed) is NOT a way to start recovery! ;D
Thanks for letting us all know!
Ciao, Lorenzo

Palace,
You're in my thoughts and prayers. You do a good job of left handed typing!
Hugs,

;) #21 down now and see it is a PJ couple of days, in the rain. I needed a vacation here at The Peaceful Palace.
Someday, I'll write what happened, yesterday. It was interesting. Twenty one surgeries logged and I hope that is the last.
This is an awesome pack. I still see scarves, hats and more. (AN clothing line) I used to paint and sell clothing years ago.
Hummmmmmmmmm!
Off to feed dogs and rest,

Hi Palace!
Sounds like you had a scare. You're going through so much. I had a bad reaction to morphine when I was in the hospital. It put me in a coma. The doctors were very concerned - said they'd never seen anything like it before. They were giving me a drug called "Narcan" or something to pull me out of it. And all that went on for my shunt surgeries before they even removed the tumor a month later.
Hey, there's a street off of our street a block down called "Palace Drive" here in Florida!
Hope you're feeling better.......Paul

Judging by the responses given, I don't see any real correlation between your primary hand use and what side your tumor is on. I also think that gender is irrelevant, but who knows?
-
Doesn't sound like there is a correlation, but still thought I'd add mine :)
Right handed - Right AN

Just thought I'd catch up. Wanted to be in on the right vs. left.
I am a right with a left AN. ;) Donna

I'm another left & left! Plus I'm left footed!

I first thought there was a connection if you were left or right handed but I don't think so anymore. My father was right handed but we believe his left ear was the bad ear like mine is.

oh i love surveys!!! is someone going to do a piechart or graph? ;D

And the post carries on.....this is a very "old"post.....i am surprised i have not responded be4.Right handed right side here. ;D
-
right and right AN!
-
My husband is right handed with a right side AN and for years he used right ear for cell phone use.
-
How about a 'Left side vs. Right side' just to even things out?
;D
-
This is a very old post.
I think research has shown that 50% of ANs are left side and 50% are right side - and that handedness is irrelevant.
Research has also shown that 50% of AN patients are male and 50% are female.
Guess this means that ANs are equal opportunity tumors ;D

I thought I was having a "senior moment" until I did some searching. Yes, this probably has been around more than once before. But I knew I had responded to this query several months ago. If anyone is interested, you can check out additional replies on handedness vs. AN side at: http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=9128.0
