It's a brilliant article.  Thanks for posting it.  She has a great attitude which makes the article worth reading and the accurate medical information contained in the article is valuable as well.  This article should be sticky-ed in the WW or Pre-treatment or whatever section is most appropriate.

I agree but watch and wait and  Hearing have been missing from my page on the Forum for years    I had no choice   But it is also appropriate for Post Treatment because she was eventually treated so illustrates her whole ride

Wish you hadn't.

Now you've got three identical posts that all appear at the top of the list when a member signs on to the site.

Sigh.

I also thought it was a great read and have posted a link for members of BANA including an acknowledgement and thank-you for the poster.    :)

BANA?  British Acoustic Neuroma Association!  Much smaller than ANA with far-fewer members.  I encourage members there to join ANA as well because of its huge database of experiences.

thanks - This is my second year with ANA and thus far, seven years since my first symptoms, I reckon I'm doing pretty well.
