Hello!
You and I have very different carriers - IT prof vs. a pilot.
However, even myself I got to think of potential carrier changes that could accommodate AN issues and still give you honest living.
I, for one, could switch to instructing; I think.
Much easier to talk/teach others as of me.

I say be honest and think about this philosophically.
Carrier change is not the end of life; you have to do what you have to do (sooner or later, you get to that point in time).

Skebenga:
Thanks Voron for the reply.

I understand what you mean and I'm facing this as practically and with as open a mind as possible. I am willing to face whatever outcome there is.

My ENT says that because it is small, normally they would wait and watch, doing regular MRIs to check rate of growth. But because of my symptoms and because of my job, he recommends treatment asap, to try and preserve vestibular function. The outcome doesn't seem certain, and I'm trying to find out if I have reason to hope that if it is treated soon, I may get full health back, so that I can continue my job.

I haven't seen a neurosurgeon yet, so when I do, perhaps I'll have a better idea, but I thought that there is a lot of experience on this board that may be of help.

Thanks again.

Thanks, but I am not a pilot.
Fortunately, I have a land-based job (though I do climb trees and ladders since my hobbies involve beekeeping and fruit tree management). :)

Skebenga is a pilot, however, and could use advice from other pilots.

Skebenga:
Hi, I've been traveling, seeing more specialists.

The consensus seems to be to watch and wait.

Thanks for replies, all info is gratefully received.
