Hi Everyone,
Just found out that Actor, Mark Ruffalo is going to be on the BRAVO channel Monday night March 19th at 8pm- 7 pm central time. The show is called "Inside the Actor's Guild". He will be interviewed and in the previews of the show he mentions his "Brain Tumor" (AN). Don't know all that he is going to say about it, but it will be good to hear about it from an actor's point of view. Hope everyone tunes in! Ann

Thanks Ann, I'm gonna try and watch that. For those who would like to know more read this!

This won't be the first time he has told his story, should be interesting. (I aways knew the two of us had something in common - NYU Medical Center)

Wow, he is also an NYU AN alumni just like I am! I did not know that, thanks for posting. I wonder who his doctor was, maybe we share that, too. He had a great outcome overall: facial nerve came back and no regrowth hopefully. From what I understand he had a medium size tumor and retrosigmoid approach.

Hi Flyersfan68 and jtd71465,
Thanks for all the info about Mark Ruffalo, I didn't know there was that much information out there about him. I hope he has something new to say! Thanks again! Ann
-
AND how is Mark Ruffalo's hearing in the AN ear? I really wanna know..
-
Hi robinm,
I really don't know, but I'm going to watch the show and hopefully find out. Ann
-
I read that he completely lost his hearing in his AN (left) ear. He also had complications following the surgery, but I do not know the details of those, other than the fact that except for his hearing, he does appear to be fine and working.

I have also heard the same, as well as some temp facial paralysis. In one article I read on his bio, it noted that one day, he was driving in the car with his wife and saw a hint of a smile appear... and it has gotten better since. He noted he was not anticipating such a good thing so soon, but was estastic to see movement in his face return.

Can't believe I just missed it.....

It's being replayed at least twice more this week, usually at odd times overnight or in the morning. You might be able to find the times here:
http://www.bravotv.com/Inside_the_Actors_Studio/guest/Mark_Ruffalo (http://www.bravotv.com/Inside_the_Actors_Studio/guest/Mark_Ruffalo).
If not, check your cable listings. Mine showed it playing at least twice more this week.

The interview was very interesting. In discussing his AN, it sounded as if they weren't sure of the diagnosis going into surgery. He focused more on the emotional issues pre and post op. Even though I haven't been treated, I could certainly relate to what he was saying. I highly recommend watching this. Not only is he a great actor, but he has an equally great sense of humor.
-
And he mentioned that he plays bass, like me! I got a kick out of that.
Paul
-
If he lost his hearing on his left ear, then he and I are similarly disabled- i'm deaf at left too ;)
-
Me too - left-side . His left side looked real good for someone who had facial paralysis. Shows that it's something that you can recover from; it's just that the length of time varies from person to person, providing that the nerve isn't severed.
Paul
-
His surgeon was Dr. Golfinos (NYU). I was there last year speaking with Dr. Golfinos and I had heard that he was operated on at NYU and wanted to know if he was the surgeon and he said yes. He didn't go into any details other than he is very pleased with his outcome. If anyone finds out when it will be replayed on Bravo, please let us know. Thanks.
-
Hi All,
I watched the show and found in very interesting but wished he would have talked more about his recovery. He never mentions that he is deaf on the left side. He did say it took him 10 months before he was back working again. I wonder how big his tumor was and what approach the doctors used on him?
I totally agree with Mark when he said (not his exact words) We need to be thankful for everything that we have and not take so many things for granted. Most of us that have had surgery have felt this way. I'm sure that others that have had Gamma or Cyber Knife have probably felt this way after their treatments have ended also.
Wouldn't it be kind of neat if we could get him to be a spokeperson for the Acoustic Neuroma Association? Ann

This article states he lost hearing in the AN ear.

According to bravotv.com, there's a re-broadcast Thursday, March 21 at 1 a.m. I don't see it again on the schedule for the next few weeks.

it is airing thursday 3-22 at 1 pm et.
gonna have to tape that one!

Not sure if you guys saw this article about Mark, but it's about his new movie and his tumor ...

What size was his tumour does anyone know?
-
Mark Ruffalo said his tumor was the size of a walnut. I think that would be what, 3.0 CM? I have always disliked his way of talking about his tumor. He won't ever say it was an AN and he says and acts like he doesn't know it was an AN and that he doesn't understand why he had facial paralysis and deafness. It feels like he is sort of just playing it up a little. Now, I admit how do you play up a brain tumor and brain surgery. I just mean he describes it sort of funny. Maybe he wasn't told that it was an AN. I don't know. Just my weird take on it.
-
Robyn -
IMO Mark doesn't really want to go into a lot of detail about his AN because it's not something he wants to publicize. I guess there's some concern about what it possibly does for his career ???
Oh, well.
Who needs Mark to be our AN spokesman, when we've got LA David who's proud to say he's one of us ;)
Thanks for doing us proud, David ;D
Jan
-
You know I think you are right so I try not to judge. If you have to be careful with your career. Plus, just think how hard it was to have facial paralysis for a year. He had to turn down a big picture and didn't know if he was going to act again. I should give him a big break, and I am. Okay, I give, who are you LA David?
Robyn
-
Don't even tell me you missed David's article in the latest issue of the ANA Newsletter :o
Jan

Oh my. I didn't read it. :-[ I don't have it either. Please, please fill me in. I am so curious now.

I have always disliked his way of talking about his tumor. He won't ever say it was an AN and he says and acts like he doesn't know it was an AN and that he doesn't understand why he had facial paralysis and deafness.
Unless and until you are in his shoes (being famous), you really can't know what he's going through. He's obviously uncomfortable talking about it. And for good reason: if he's not careful, the sensationalistic media will focus obsessively on his tumor and not on his acting career. Imagine having no privacy and everything about your life is fair game for millions of people to see, gossip about and judge (often unfairly). Would you want to be acknowledged for your skills and your work, or for being sick with a disease that has a big stigma attached to it? I'm sure he goes into each interview planning not to talk about his tumor and the press just hounds him to talk about it because it fascinates the morbid public. Many of us have lamented on this forum about friends and acquaintences (and sometimes family members) who don't understand what we go through. Now multiply that one million times for someone like Ruffalo who is constantly in the public eye, and hopefully you'll begin to understand a little what the pressure is like for him.
He's got a family to support, too. Having a brain tumor is not what's going to get him his next job opportunity (film role). Being a great actor is what he must focus the press' attention on. Also realize that the press regularly misquotes what people say in interviews. What is printed often isn't a direct transcript of the conversation. It is usually condensed down to short excerpts taken out-of-context, and then edited further by someone who didn't even do the interview. So please don't judge him. He is one of us and struggling just like us to keep working in the face of this horrible illness and doing what he loves most in life (acting).

Some very good points, Tumbleweed, but even though I've never been in those "shoes" it seems to me that Mark should be very proud of what he's been through and would want to shout his good news from the rooftops. It would be one hell of a public service to those "like us".
IMO it would be a little different if he had lasting effects from his AN - and maybe he does and we just don't see them - but he's well past the point where his AN is preventing him from earning him his livelihood. He's definitely an accomplished actor and that's a very good point for him to make. He overcame a major stumbling block to get to where he is today and you'd think he'd want to encourage others who are dealing with the same thing (namely an AN) and prove to them that it doesn't mean the end of "life, as we know it".
I'm certain not everyone will agree with me, but this is just my opinion.
Jan
-
Jan, I respectfully disagree. Ruffalo has had a lasting effect from his AN -- SSD. That might very well limit his job opportunities -- if people in the industry regard it as a critical handicap. Perhaps he has trouble hearing fellow actors speaking their lines or the director speaking to him from across a stage set. Besides that, if he is like most of the rest of us, he probably struggles with fatigue, tinnitus and possibly disequilibrium. His disequilibrium, if he suffers from this, may preclude him from taking on roles in action movies. Maybe his facial paralysis hasn't totally resolved itself. He may very well have already gotten passed over for some film roles -- and been dismissed as a candidate for roles on Broadway, for instance -- because of his SSD. The point is he has nothing to gain by focusing other people on his tumor. And, again, unless you were in his shoes, you really really cannot possibly understand his motives. His choices are as valid as the personal treatment choices we validate and honor for everyone on this board. It's his life. He owes nothing to other people simply on the basis of their having the same illness. (I and many others participate in this forum because I want to help others -- and sometimes be helped, as well -- but that's my personal, spiritual choice and not something that should be expected of everyone.) Should we all condemn Paul Newman for not discussing his cancer the last several years of his life?
As for his discussion of his AN being "one hell of a public service to those like us," I just don't see how. It's the knowledgeable people who give advice to newly diagnosed people on this forum that are giving something of value. Mark Ruffalo is just an ordinary person who society has elevated because he's in the media. All things being equal, his views about ANs are no more and no less valuable than that offered by another person with the same experience and knowledge. It is sad to me that people think somehow their lives will be vastly improved if someone famous says they've got the same problem or problems as them. Any boost someone would get from that would be extremely short-lived and disappointing in the end.
You can no more understand Mark Ruffalo's personal and private choices than you can understand what it's like to live in Tasmania.
Respectfully,
Tumbleweed

Tumbleweed -
I totally understand your thoughts on this, and despite what you may think, I'm not "condemning" Mark Ruffalo nor do I feel I am judging him. As you very accurately point out, I don't know the man, and therefore, I have no idea what he deals with on a daily basis nor do I know what his job or the people he works with, and for, "require". I can relate to being SSD, but thankfully it doesn't affect my career more than my BAHA can handle.
Although I'm sure he has his reasons, which are personal and definitely none of my business, I'm still a little disappointed that he isn't more vocal on the subject. When I said his discussion of his AN could be "one hell of a public service to those like us" I didn't really explain my position well at all.
What I should have said is that I think someone famous who had, or has, an AN has the unique opportunity of raising awareness of this fairly rare diagnosis - and I personally find it frustrating that he isn't taking "advantage" of that opportunity. Think Katie Couric and colon cancer, Jenny McCarthy and autism, or Christine Applegate and breast cancer - although these conditions aren't fairly rare.
True, Katie doesn't have colon cancer and Jenny doesn't have autism, so neither of their careers are directly affected by them, but I think you can see where I'm coming from. With famous names behind these "issues" the public is more aware that they exist and, therefore, hopefully the public is diagnosed more accurately and more easily. Maybe it's selfish of me, but I'd like to see the same for Acoustic Neuromas.
My point is, like you say, that Mark is just an ordinary person - like those of us on this forum. But fortunately, or unfortunately, because he's famous the media will give him much more attention than they give the average AN patient - even though his views are no more or no less valuable than other non-famous patients.
BTW, just what IS it like to live in Tasmania ??? ;)
Jan

Good points, Tumbleweed and Jan. It just made me think of Robin Roberts and the outpouting of support she received and how she shared it with the world. You can't tell me she didn't feel like crap, but she still went out there and did her job and I, for one (along w/ a few millions other people), respect her even more now. I know that there were a LOT of women (& porobably men too battling other cancers) that she made feel just a little better because they knew of someone "famous" going thru the same thing as them. WOW! What would I have felt like if it were an AN or brain tumor??
K
-
Another thing I just thought of...hasn't LADavid said over and over that he has had severe hearing issues for a LONG time and wears hearing aids? This did not seem to affect his acting career...
K
-
Good points, Kaybo.
I didn't think of Robin Robinson when I posted or of LA David's hearing issues.
-
Since we're exchanging opinions here, I'll overcome my usual timidity and offer mine. ;)
Frankly, I have to respect Mark Ruffalo's choice not to emphasize his AN experience during interviews.
Not only is it an obvious potential liability to his career as an actor but Ruffalo probably realizes that most folks don't want to hear much about other people's medical problems, especially when they're now recovered ("you look fine"). Granted, a Hollywood actor talking about his acoustic neuroma experience might generate a bit of interest - but probably not that much. Mark Ruffalo is not a mega-star (yet) so I doubt his talking about his AN experience and making the condition a little better known is going to trigger a rush of donations to the ANA. If I had a choice, I would rather see an up-and-coming actor such as Mark Ruffalo donate money to the ANA than mention his AN experience for 90 seconds during some interview that a majority of Americans won't see, hear, read or, realistically, care about.
I'm no celebrity but, some two+ years post-op, I don't mention my AN to people I meet, especially new acquaintances. If and when the subject comes up, I spend about 1 minute talking about it, stressing my good outcome. Then I move on to something else. It's rare that anyone in this situation asks me a lot of questions about my AN. I've made my point, they nod and make appropriate sounds of concern, usually ask: "So, you're O.K., now?" , I reply "yes" - then we discuss something else. As I said, everyone has their own physical issues, especially when you get to middle age. They aren't especially interested in a long story about a problem I've already surmounted, just as Mark Ruffalo apparently has. Frankly, most young people aren't interested; partly because they can't imagine anything serious ever impacting them, physically and so, can't relate and/or have fiancées, are recently married or have young children they would much rather talk about. I understand that. The reality is that my AN experience is boring to most folks...and I know it and react accordingly by not mentioning it or making a very brief comment about it, capped with "I'm good". I think most of my acquaintances are just as glad I handle it this way.
I think Mark Ruffalo knows this too. So, during a TV or magazine interview that will reach a wide variety of people he realizes they don't want to hear much about his AN experience, so he minimizes it. Again, as an actor, I'm sure that he doesn't want to be seen as in any way impaired and unable to perform. That is simple self-interest and should be easily understood. I would do the same in his position. Most folks probably would. On that basis and for the other reasons I've listed, I respect and understand Mark Ruffalo's decision regarding his hesitancy in publicizing his AN experience. Maybe he'll learn about this website and post his story here, instead, where he would have not only an interested but empathetic audience. Well, it's a thought, anyway. ;)
Jim

Jim,
Amen to all that you wrote!
I think you have summed up the situation quite fairly and realistically, and I think you're spot on when you say that "most folks don't want to hear much about other people's medical problems, especially when they've now recovered." I don't think that this implies that people -- whether relatives, friends, acquaintances, or people you've just met -- are not sympathetic. It's just the way life is! I think a brief comment about one's health, in response to a question, is the best approach. You can certainly go into a bit more detail if asked, but there's no need to go overboard. I think this is one reason this forum is so important -- people can discuss their AN issues endlessly, and they know they'll have an appreciative, understanding, and helpful audience.

I know that Michael J. Fox hid his Parkinson's Disease for as long as he could. Then he became an advocate. Sally Field makes money I suppose for her ads on osteoporosis medicine, plus lending her face to the problem. Probably Mark Ruffalo just wants to put that behind him and may not think that any publicity on his part will do any good or raise public awareness on something that's not "a major health threat", such as diabetes, which Patti LaBelle and other's have lent their voice and face for advertising products. Maybe if there was a pill or treatment that he could promote, that would be different. And then, maybe he just is a really private kind of guy and doesn't want people rummaging about in his head, so to speak. ;)

I am not going to judge Mark Ruffalo but I still think if you are going ot talk about it he could mention that the hearing and facial problem is from AN. To just call it a brain tumor is a bit misleading unless he doesn't know it was an AN. That really was my only issue and I sort of assumed why he was doing it. My bad.
Robyn
-
I am neither here nor there about it as I hadn't even heard of him and still have NO CLUE as to whom he is except for an actor; HOWEVER, I will say that I am VERY surprised by the reaction that you get, Jim. I guess it is very different for someone who has very obvious residual effects from this whole journey because I find that 99.9% of the people I encounter (on a daily basis) are extremely curious about what all happened to me. I do as you do and offer a very BRIEF explanation as to what I had and leave it at that, BUT I make sure they know that they have in no way offended me and that I am more than willing to talk about it. Also, I try to let others know that I would talk to anyone who has a brain condition or stroke. I can't tell you the number of times I can not seem to "get away" from people or say, "As Vicki knows or has heard before" to include a friend with me. Of course, along with everyone's AN being different so too is the way that they perceive it and deal with it. That is one of the things that makes us an even more unique and diverse group! ;D

Ok, first of all.. my husband has been to Tasmania and says it's quite nice and they have a very good rugby team. :D
I will throw my opinion out there, for what it's worth... I think anyone in the public eye - an actor, for example, has a unique opportunity to educate people. People know more about Parkinson's since Michael J. Fox started talking about it. They know more about MS since Montel Williams started talking about it... Katie Couric and colon cancer, Mary Lou Retton and joint replacement surgery, Ted Kennedy and brain cancer, Susan G. Komen.... the list goes on. I think there is some sort of inherent responsibility on the part of said public persona to use their position to educate the public about these things. After all, aren't we - the general public - paying their salaries by buying movie tickets, DVD's, miscellaneous merchandise?
I'm certainly not suggesting that everyone's life needs to be an open book and that all celebrities need to have colonoscopies on national television, but I think that if Mark Ruffalo would just come right out and say "this is what I had, this is what treatment it required and this is where I am today" instead of skirting around the issue like it didn't exist, it probably wouldn't be such a big deal. By continually trying to hide it from others, it makes it seem that much worse, and I think we all know, there are much worse things that could happen to a person than an AN. I'm sure lack of privacy is an occupational hazard in Hollywood. But, in the immortal words of Super Chicken "you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!".
I'm not an actor, and I don't play one on tv, but I think it would be rather optimistic of those in that field to think that they are going to be able to do that job forever. Actors get old, and wrinkled and hunched over with bad knees just like the rest of us. I would imagine that if I had chosen that particular career field, I would be grateful for as long as it lasted, but, really, in a career field as unpredictable as that, you'd have to be crazy to not have a Plan B to be able to put food on the table for your family.
So, that is my two cents, which I realize is quite different from the two cents of many others. I guess I just continue to live with my rose colored glasses on where everyone with an opportunity to help someone - actually does it. What a concept!
Lori
p.s. And if it matters, I have no idea who Mark Ruffalo is either. If he isn't one of the Disney characters, I'm sure I haven't seen him in any movies lately.
-
Hi,
I do know that Mark Ruffalo knows that he had an acoustic neuroma. Someone I know from another forum lives in New York, went to see him in a play, and wrote to him. Mark replied to her in a ten page handwritten note. I don't know exactly what the note said, but I do know that the early recovery time was difficult for him. He had facial paralysis that he had to work through. We know how difficult that can be.
I think that Jim, once again, expressed his opinion very well. I agree with him. Mark probably wants to put this experience behind him. He's busy acting now.
Jean
-
Well written post, Lori, and I join you in the rose-colored glasses concept. Too bad we don't run the world :D
BTW, the only time I've ever seen Mark Ruffalo in anything is the movie Thirteen Going on Thirty with Jennifer Garner - although I'm certain he's known for much more.
If you haven't seen this movie, buy it, rent it, borrow it, or steal it - it's very cute and I think you'd like it. Mark is also very handsome ;D
Oh, yea, and the next time James has tickets to a Tasmanian rugby game, tell him I'm there ;)
Jan
-
Thanks, Jim, for your thoughtful post on this subject. Ruffalo has done several interviews in which he talks about his AN, and apparently it didn't provide the "hell of a boost" people want from him. What more can he do? Become a spokesperson for the National Brain Tumor Foundation? He already has a job -- acting.
Many of us don't like broadcasting to people we meet that we have or had a brain tumor. I've personally limited the number of people I've told about it for a number of reasons, including because I don't want to be known as "the guy with the brain tumor." I don't want people to treat me any differently than the way they always had before I was diagnosed. Think about Ruffalo's situation, where there is potential for millions of people to look at him as "the actor with the brain tumor." Not exactly the way to heal and move on with your life.
One final (I hope!) thought on this: everyone assumes Ruffalo is not much of an advocate for people with this illness, but is that really so? For all we know, he has made anonymous donations to research on ANs. He might even be contributing to this forum under an alias. Um, for all people know, I might be Mark Ruffalo! ;)
Tumbleweed from Tasmania
-
P.S. Sorry, Jan, I shouldn't harp on the "hell of a boost" comment. I think I understand your postion more about the potential for public education and early diagnosis. But I agree with Jim that Ruffalo probably doesn't have the public profile to make that happen. And again (one last time, I promise!), it's his life to live.
Tumbleweed
-
No need to apologize, Tumbleweed. We're all entitled to our opinions, and I really enjoying reading others - especially those different from mine - it gives me a new perspective on things.
I'm not saying you're right, though! LOL
BTW, I had a feeling you were Mark Ruffalo :D Or, I guess it could be Jim - we never did find out his "real" name ;)
Jan
-
Actually, my hearing loss did affect my acting ability. I had to know scripts inside and out to know the timing if someone was speaking on my SSD side. Fortunately (or unfortunately money-wise) my lines were generally simple and I didn't have to exchange much dialogue. It was much tougher working as Jack Nicholson's stand-in. The nosie on a set from the lighting team and the grips is incredible during scene set-up. Hearing aids ampify everything and it was impossible to sort through the nosie. I worked with Mark very briefly on Zodiac. I didn't notice that he had a problem with hearing. As far as his involvement with the AN community, I've made my cynical point before. Actors lives and personal involvement off-set are handled by PR managers. If an AN isn't important enough to them, it doesn't get mentioned. My guess, at 3500 cases a year, it's not important enough. Michael J Fox and Parkinsons Disease is a bigger issue. As I said -- cynical. But I do know Hollywood.
-
Thanks for the insight on this topic, David.
You're a little closer to walking in Mark's shoes than any of the rest of us, so I liked hearing your opinion.
BTW, want to go see a rugby game in Tasmania with me and Lori's husband, James? ;)
Jan
-
Hey David,
I think Jan is asking you for a hot date...
*whispers to Lori "It's about time..."* ;D
K

Is that what I just did? :-[
I thought I was just being humorous :o
As long as you are analyzing my post, Kay, what is your interpretation of James' role in this?
Wait - maybe I shouldn't ask ::)
Jan
-
Jan~
tickets to the game...connections...and chaperone, of course.... ;D
K

K -
a much "cleaner" explanation that I thought you'd give me ;)
But I'm fearful of Lori's response to that same question when she reads this thread :D
Jan
-
Okay, you all, this isn't the dating game - or at least this topic isn't.
So back on the subject, I tend to agree that Mark Ruffalo should make the call on when he says what. Maybe he is saving his AN story for his first Oscar speech. :)

*ahem*
ditto folks! :)
Me thinks Mark Ruffalo is trying to do what so many others (AN'ers and such) try to do in life... just move on. How many folks participated on this site years ago, but have noted that their AN's are now just part of who they are but move forward? Me thinks Ruffalo is doing the same, so the focus is on his acting abilities, not his "disabilities" (ie: SSD, etc).
Again, only my 2 cents.
Phyl
-
Good point, Phyl.
But where would the forum be if we all just moved on ???
BTW, no dating here, folks. Just a figment of Kaybo's imagination.
Thanks for not moving us to AN Community - I seriously thought you would Phyl.
Jan
-
Come on guys...I TOTALLY see the relevance (SP?) - David is an actor and knows all about that life and Jan wantes to better understand acting and AN's...what a better way??
???
K ;D
-
AH HA! See - I wasn't one of the trouble makers this time! :P
Lori... dusting off my halo... again...
-
I think that with all the celebrities standing up for their particular cause, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, bone problems, diabetes, heart problems, autism, Parkinson's, etc, that somehow most of us would like somebody in the public eye to stand up for OUR cause. I think that deep down inside, we all just wish somebody who is relatively "known" who has walked in our shoes would tell their story. This, however weird it may seem, lends some kind of validation to "our story". I suppose this comes under basic human behavior and our need to "band together" to face common problems. Hence, a Forum. Hence, WHERE IS OUR SPOKESPERSON?. ;D
Sue in Vancouver USA
-
why not LA David? He's perfect in how he gets the message across!
Cheryl R
-
Sue - you basically summed up exactly what I was trying to say. And Cheryl, I totally agree on your thoughts about David.
Lori - I didn't even think that you had a halo at this point in time
And K, I was just making an innocent joke about Tasmania ::) Oy vey!
Jan
-
Yes, I vote for David too. Besides, I think he's much more handsome than any of the aforementioned actors!
Jan, the halo is there...sometimes I just misplace it.... now where is that thing? ???
Rugby anyone?
Lori

Jan~
You kind of left it wide open for me and I just couldn't resist!! ;D
K
-
*trips over dropped halo* :-\
1. I agree and vote for LADavid.. he IS our true star! :)
2. Halo's will be confiscated if I trip over a dropped-one again! >:(
3. Jan... moved to AN Community... cuz I can! :D... (and better suited here where you all can have fun with this!)
Carry on!
