[johnsli]

Diagnosed age 51 2CM on a wait and watch, and by the way the night sweats are back with a vengence.  Had them when I was 45 to 48 and they stopped.  But, boy are they back now.  So bad, they wake me from a deep sleep.  And it really is hard for me to sleep right now.

I was 42 when diagnosed with 2+ cm An. I had surgery 5 months later.

Daughter diagnosed last year at 17 years old- 6cm.  I have noticed that almost all the teens on this board have 4+ cm when diagnosed.  Just wonder why they are so young with such large AN's???     I think this would be a very interesting research project.       Michelle

Hi, I'm a newbie here...diagnosed at age 56 one year ago, 1.1 cm with small growth to 1.3 cm as of 4/07, so watching and waiting...
Originally discovered because I thought my hearing loss was related to my MS and had an MRI, which disclosed this wonderful addition to my ailments. (After one year, hearing is gone in the affected ear).

[mema]

Diagnosed at age 57, 8mm.  Hearing loss happened then, but I had bouts of vertigo for four years prior.  Even had an MRI (without contrast) at age 53 for the vertigo.  So did I have it then and thats what caused the vertigo?  I guess I'll never know.

I was diagnosed at age 42 with a 3.5 cm tumor.  My only symptom was mild hearing loss in one ear.  No other noticable symptoms.

I was diagnosed with a 3.2cm AN at age 46 and 3 mts later had it removed by translab. I first had slight hearing loss, went to doctor with no luck. Two years passed and I started to get so dizzy at times. Went to another doctor and nothing found. Two more years passed and I went to another doctor to get a hearing aid for the one ear. That's when the doctor did a MRI and found the AN.

I was diagnosed May of 1992 with a 1 x 0.5 x 0.5 cm mass.  I was 35 at the time.  They said it was an AN but the surgeon later found it to be a Facial Nerve Tumor. My hearing loss was first recorded in first grade so I had the tumor for at least 28 years!
