Anyone else diagnosed with acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor?

I was diagnosed last year after missing it for years, I am 74 so we are doing a wait and see thing which is driving me nuts with worry. I lost hearing on the side of the tumor, very unbalanced so use a walker or cane, pounding in the left ear, all kinds of symptoms but also have migraines with vertigo. I went to Duke but my doc wants me to go to Mayo

@sarasally2, you must be somewhat relieved to finally have a diagnosis so that you can move forward. If you are planning to get a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, here's some information. You probably have questions about the diagnosis, treatment options and what will happen next. Experts at the Mayo Clinic can help navigate your healthcare journey, answer your questions and guide you through the treatment plan. When you call at any of our 3 campuses, you will be offered an appointment within 48 hours http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63 Be sure to mention the Brain Tumor 48-hour Access program.

Wait and see as a treatment option is tough on the psyche. I can imagine that it is driving you nuts. Has you doctor made a referral to Mayo already?
