Thanks Colleen. We actually are still waiting for the biopsy to confirm that it was a ganglion cyst. It was not a neuroma for sure. It was not an ideal situation. The "cyst" was wrapped around the cochlear nerve, the vestibular nerve and was threatening the facial nerve. They were able to protect the facial nerve but she did lose hearing in her right ear. She is obviously disappointed by that but is adapting to her new situation and actively looking for ways to deal with it. She is now monitoring this channel and aso the Mayo hearing loss channel.
