The radiologist report said that it was 2.5 cm with a 5 cm cystic component. Oddly, I had perfect hearing right up to the time of my first surgery. The tumor was debulked initially. I had the remainder removed about 18 months later. Thankfully, other than hearing loss, I have no significant effects from the surgeries!

Have a great day,
