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

Tracy, just wondering if anyone on this board has had yearly MRI'S after having an acoustic neuroma tumor. I have had 1 each year to make certain it doesn't come back. I'm due for 1 for this year. Just wanted to get some input from others to see if it is necessary. Thanks for any help. Wandered what others were told after their removal.

Good question about MRI follow-up, @vickid117. How often and for how long one needs follow up MRIs for an acoustic neuroma will vary from person to person depending on the patients and the size and status of the tumor, and other factors. I'd like to hear from @sarasally2 @ellene @annedodrill44 @spurcey1 @dd300 @saucy @rosesareredmylove2016 and others in this group and hope they'll share their follow-up plans.

Vicki, since your surgery was only 2 years ago, it makes sense to me that you would have a yearly follow-up. I would certainly ask your team how long they expect that you will need yearly follow-up. When is your next MRI?
