Hi. I just had acoustic neuroma surgery on June 8th,2018. I have went for vestibular therapy. I am having balance issues. As well as balance issues, I lost total hearing in my right ear after surgery. I was diagnosed 2 years ago. They were going to wait and watch it's growth. My husband's health had declined and I put myself aside to take care of him. He passed last August. I was supposed to go for an MRI last year and didn't. After the funeral I went and had an MRI because dizzy and ringing of the ears was really getting bad. At that point the tumor had grown and started to cause more symptoms. Radiation would not help with my balance issues. The doctor felt the surgery would be the best way to go.It is an ongoing struggle, but I'm not a quitter. Just ordered hearing aides yesterday. Been out of work for almost 3 months. Just started driving small distances a week ago. Every experience is different. Would love to hear from anyone who is currently experiencing after surgery life. Best Wishes to you who are just starting this journey.Just remember we can beat this tumor.
