Anyone else diagnosed with acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor?
Brain Tumor | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (523)Comment receiving replies
I have been recently diagnosed with this condition as well as normal pressure hydrocephalus.
On Dec 9, I had a shunt placement and healing from this surgery to continue on with another surgery in February to remove the schwannoma or acoustic neuroma and I will lose hearing in affected ear.
This seems like so much to grasp for myself. Scary stuff.

@cinlu, it's a lot to take in having 2 conditions and 2 head surgeries in quick succession. You may also be interested in these related discussions about NPH;

Cinlu, how was your recovery from the shunt placement? Do you have questions about your upcoming surgery in February?
