Anxious, considering Stanford for retrosigmoid approach.

[G Marioni]

I was diagnosed with a vestibular schwannoma in November of 2024. Size about 18x15mm. Besides tinnitus I have some hearing loss but no change in hearing from initial diagnosis. I have had one balance related episode. To preserve the hearing I have and avoid additional symptoms I am considering the rectosigmoid approach for treatment at Stanford by a team led by Dr Jauna Carlos Fernandez-Miranda. I do have opinions from two other facilities; those surgeons basically recommend a similar approach. I am very anxious about all this and would like to know if anyone has had experience with Stanford and Dr Fernandez-Miranda that they would be willing to share.

Thank you
