Well, just finished my 9 month follow up appt. Everything looks good, with signs of early shrinkage. No swelling or symptoms of any kind.   ;D

Jamie, so happy that CK appears to be a success for you.  After a month or more of research and comments from this wonderful group, I am leaning towards CK.  There's a new facility here in Palm Beach and I will be making an appointment for a consultation very soon.  Congrats!!!!

Thanks everybody for the well wishes! :) Good luck FranDS, I'm sure everything will go smoothly for you. I never even think about mine anymore, not until I'm at work and I remember to check in on this site, other than that it's like nothing ever happened....

Jamie, I'm confused--is a lower cranial nerve schwannoma the same as an AN, which is on the 8th vestibular? I know a vestibular schwannoma and an AN are interchangeable terms. I'm so glad you've had success with CK.

No, actually it's not an AN, well same thing only different nerve. It's hard to pinpoint exactly which one (10-12th). I don't know how they can tell the difference, the MRI's look the exact same as an AN, only they're the nerves affect swallowing, vocal chords, etc., not hearing or balance. They are also tougher nerves and are more resiliant I believe, the only symptom I had was an earache and morning headaches, which went away after CK....
