Kevin's Experience with Acoustic Neuroma

A renown concert pianist's career could have come to an end due to a diagnosis of Acoustic Neuroma. Kevin put his trust in partners Dr. Jeffrey Jacob of Michigan Head & Spine Institute and Dr. Seilesh Babu of Michigan Ear Institute, who made sure that didn't happen using skull base surgical techniques.

Hi, I live in Australia about in 2017 I had an operation for an accoustic neuroma, I had never heard of one, my doctor sent me for a scan and one of the doctors picked the neuroma, I was sent to a surgeon at the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, the first surgeon said he wouldn't touch it but the second one I saw who is a professor booked me in for the operation, I was on a waiting list for a few months and during that time I was getting worse, my balance became worse and I started having sick turns, the surgeon told me after the operation that he couldn't save my hearing but he removed the tumour which was touching the brain, I felt pain but I was glad to be alive anyway, I was an amateur musician in a pipe band and I found that playing the pipes made me dizzy and I couldn't march in a straight line or stand for long periods, this was proved when I collapsed at a memorial parade so I've given up piping well of course I didn't like pipes anyway, I still play the piano accordion but I don't play at functions now, I used to play a lot of Scottish and Irish stuff, I'm 72 years of age, I went to special therapy to try and improve my balance but I don't think it made much difference I just have to be careful and of course I'm banned from using chain saws, getting on ladders or any high wire acts, but it's good to be alive and I can relate to the situation you were in, cheers from the sunburnt country.

I’m a flutist and I finally have an initial appointment next week. The flute is sounding ever more strange.
