Title: 7 Week post op update
Post by: iyum on September 20, 2010, 02:59:14 am

My Father had AN sugery on August 4, 2010 at House Ear Clinic in LA. He had a 4cm tumor which was successfully removed by Dr. Friedman and Dr. Schwartz. I cannot begin to explain the treatment we received at House Ear Clinic. The Doctors had amazing bedside manner and our overall stay for the surgery went really well. We were fully informed by the doctors throughout the surgery. My father didnt feell any pain in ICU and had no effect on facial nerve, he suffered no major side effects after the surgery considering it was a fairly large tumor aside from dizziness. He is walking perfectly normal now and feels better than before. He is a totally new person and its a miracle for us.

I would like to Thank you Dr. Friedman and Dr. Schwartz for performing a superb surgery and this discussion forum for assisting us in such a difficult decision. This is a very informative and helpful forum and wish everyone a speedy recovery and best of luck.

Sincerely,

Mariyam

Mariyam .....

Thanks for letting us know about the successful experience your father had at HEI.  I know it was a big decision to come half way around the world for treatment ..... and I am so glad he (and you) had such good treatment and good results.

Check back in with us every now and then and let us know how he continues to do in his post-surgery recovery.

Best thoughts.  Clarice

Mariyam ~

I'm delighted to learn of your father's splendid surgical results at HEI.  Thanks, too, for your kind words regarding our member's contributions helping you and your father make a treatment decision.

This is a perfect example of why this website and, specifically, the discussion forums exist.

Mariyam,

SO GLAD your father is doing well!  I, too, had my 4+cm tumor removed by Drs Friedman and Schwartz this summer!  They saved my life and I could never thank them enough for how they treated myself and my family.  Keep us posted on your father's recovery.  How long was his surgery? 

Kris
