Hello everyone, I have been diagnosed with a hemangioma -- very rare -- aka a blood vessel tumor or growth -- but have noticed in other posts that Moe and Chelsmom have referred to "vascular" tumors or "vascular ANs."
I have had such a hard time finding anyone to talk to who has has a similar tumor, so I'm wondering, are those tumors hemangiomas also? There is so little in the literature about them. And much of it is bad -- but that's because, I assume at least in part, they are older reports and not from the best-of-the-best surgeons that I can tell.
Have you learned anything about what's different in progression, treatment or recovery with a vascular tumor vs. a nerve tumor?
