My surgery is scheduled for the 10th of Feb....I've recently noticed that I am having head ache pain, on my left side..not really a headache, but like it feels like I can feel the tumor from the inside. Has anyone else experience this? I dont necessarily feel a fullness in my ear, but in my head. I imagine it's where I imagine the tumor is. Like it's grown in the past few weeks.
Ugh
I think I'm almost ready for this to be over and to start on the road to recovery.
Thanks everyone, for all your support through this.

Good luck. Did anyone put your "big day" on the AN Calendar so you get into Rich's weekly update?
Haven't had a chance to look myself.
BTW, where is your surgery taking place and who is doing it?
Just curious,

Doug Backous and Farroukh Farroukhi at Virginia Mason. they came highly recommended (as did Charles Mangham) but Backous had a few more points as well as the fact I didn't have to change insurance....
Plus, he is performing retrosigmoid, not the translab everyone else suggested. I have a (very very smalll) chance to keep some hearing.

Marla,
Thanks for the update! It will be here before you know it, and you'll be a "postie."
The fact that you may be able to have even the slightest, remote chance of keeping some hearing is good :)
Stay busy and focused and get all your duckies in a row, and you'll be there. Oh and pamper yourself too. Do things for yourself ok?

I have no advice on the headache but I agree that it'll be great when you're through the surgery and on the road to recovery. Won't be long now!
I entered your surgery date on the AN Treatment Calendar. http://my.calendars.net/an_treatments/d10/02/2010?authenticate=&display=M&style=B. Feel free to edit, if you wish.
