I am totallly confused. When I last posted, we were told my 2.2 tumor had grown to 2.4 and needed to come out surgically as it was a meningioma, NOT an acoustic neuroma. I got my work prepared to be off for a couple of months and went on medical leave. We went to see the surgeon on Monday to be given a surgery date within the next two to three weeks.
Well, the surgeon comes in and says he thinks the tumor is an
acoustic neuroma, and no matter which kind of tumor it is, he thinks I should have
gamma knife 
He says even if I wanted the surgery he couldn't do it until mid January.
My husband may be changing jobs by the end of the year, and we have insurance concerns, which I stressed to all my Dr.s
Now I am waiting at home, trying to get a phone call back from the Dr.s as to just what in the *&%! I am supposed to do.
I'm not sure if I'm caught in some sort of ego struggle between the three docs (radiosurgeon, surgeon and neurologist), or if there was just mis-communication.
I realize my tumor is a little unusual, as it has some components of both acoustic neuroma and meningioma, but I need a little guidance from the "experts" if I am going to make any kind of decision.
I'm stuck with a growing tumor and shrinking time options.
Anybody else have anything like this happen?
