Thank you for sharing this. I appreciate the approachable lecture style for a very complicated topic.
Thank you for presenting this training. So many physicians know very little about AN and have no idea how to deal with their patients. As a patient myself, post SRS, I love your enthusiasm about the topic. God bless!
Really, really, I hope the clinics, hospital and doctor of all world continuie investigating and developing more information for combat this type of tumors, you're great! Thanks a lot! Saludos from México!! :)
Thanks for sharing your comment!

ya. i have the charity for raising awareness for this in my beneficiaries on my bank acct. it's rly needed
Thank you, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this. I had a 6cm one removed in 2016, and GK on the growing 2cm left behind in late 2019. I learned a lot in those years, but this is by far the most informational video I have seen
I am going through this right now. Did you do gamma knife or surgical removal? I'm trying to decide what to do.
@@kristenalmonte1110 Do NOT have surgery if you don't have to. I had translab 6 years ago. I am left with 2cm of the 6cm. Go with radiation if you can. I had it for the regrowth. It still sucks, but no chance of living with constant 11/10 pain like I woke up with this morning.
@@simplymeconnie4003 Thank you for your input. Yes, in my research in most cases people are left deaf as well. Was unsure if that was all types of surgery since I thought there were 3 kinds. Mine is 2.5 cm and I am unsure exactly where it is until I see the neurosurgeon on 5/25. I just found out I even had it this past Tues. I have ringing & hissing. I am assuming it may grow and I have to do the gamma knife now while it is small and I have minimal symptoms.
@@kristenalmonte1110 any update? I have this and I’m only 27 :/ scared
Thank you all for sharing with each other. We’re all glad our channel is able to bring patients together to discuss shared experiences - going through all this is a lot!

I just found out i have one. 16mm. I think I must have had it for about 15 years. I’ve been slowly going, deaf in that air, and it finally got to the point where I was tired of saying what all the time. Having people have to repeat themselves when talking with them.
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
very interesting I am not a doctor but could follow your presentation pretty well.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. I’m having my 2.7cm AN removed surgically in a couple of weeks and this helps clarify some details.
Thank you for sharing your story! We’re glad this video helped clarify some things for you.

Hi, hope u r doing well, may what were the symptoms in your case?
Hi, thanks for sharing, as it’s been over a year, how was the surgery ? If you don’t mind me asking, any issues ?
Thank you for your info...need to know as you are very easy to communicate need your help to help others in particulary with other health issue's as im not a dr but i have matter that relate
I know this video is older, but are there still any books available? Recently diagnosed with a 0.9cm vestibular schwannoma and I am looking for all the information I can get. I am not one to only trust the advice of one doctor etc. as stated many have opinions and I want to be very involved in the treatment of my situation. Thank you for this informative and amazing video!
I have 11mm. After consulting with ENT, they suggested to get it removed.
Thank you for this presentation. Do you still have books to give out? I’d be interested in reading.
No, sorry
Thanks for the video, it's very helpful. My dad has a vestibular schwannoma and we're trying to find all information we can to know what to do, including information about a procedure called gamma knife in Brazil to see if he can have it killed instead of removed, sparing him from a 7hs surgery plus a week in hospital. I'm not a doctor, but a biologist, so I understand a bit of how the human body works and I'd be very interested in the book you said to study it, if possible.
Thank you for sharing your dad’s story! We genuinely hope your dad and his doctors are able to find the best and right treatment for him as an individual.

Good8 day
I would love to get your book. I’m having major memory issues. Is this normal?
the giveaway for my tumor was when i wasn't able to smile fully on that side of my face anymore. sooo apparently it wasn't a true vestibular schwannoma? lol (: it was almost 3 cm, originated in the ear canal, and was causing midline shift. baseline only 1 of 3 signals in my ear were working at the start of surgery and it was lost during surgery. i also had heavy hemmorhage in my cerebellum to the point where it compressed my 4th ventricle, and i had a stroke in my pons. it left permanent damage/scars in that area and i have seizures/epilepsy in that region now that i've just started medication for because it was getting dangerous (affecting heart/breathing)
Thank you sir, I have been tumors, right and left. How do I get copy of your book?
do you think Cawthorne's head exercise are even practical if you have Vestibular Schwannoma??
My friend is having a neoroma in right and left region both of 2 mm but it has pus involving cerebral linings what should be the tt plan?
connection to cell phone use?
I have a 1.5cm AN with complete deafness in my left ear. I also suffer from vertigo quite often and am unstable while standing still and walking. I have tinnitus all the time and loud noises make it worse. it grows about .5cm per year so far.
Thank you for sharing - living with those symptoms must be such a challenge. We’re here cheering for you and your doctors to come up with the best treatment plan possible.

The doctors won’t remove it?
Could they be caused by older "Brick" style phones?
I have this so can you send me a book. I’m a patient of Cedars Sinai in California
Glad the video helped - sorry we don't have books right now.
May I have a copy please
Glad you liked it!
Can you send me copy
I have a 14mm....😢
That is a very very small tumor. You are very lucky to have found it this small. More than likely the course of treatment would be to watch and wait. But it's best to see a neurosurgeon so that he can do an exam and determine what is the best treatment for you based on your symptoms and the positioning of your tumor. It's also best to see an ENT and to get a hearing test. My tumor is 1.7 cm and yours is 1.4 cm. I just recently had radiation done and I just had my MRI after that three months later. There has been no new growth. I'm due to get another MRI in November to compare the findings.
