Diagnosed with Vestibular Schwannoma

[Guest guest]

Has anyone in the group been diagnosed with " Vestibula Schwannoma " on

the internal auditory canal? I am scheduled for a follow-up MRI to

determine its growth rate. Am currently considering a single or

Bilateral CI's.

I would love to hear from anyone familiar with this diagnosis.

I think that is the same thing as an acoustic neuroma. I would think you need to

deal with the tumor before you do anything about a CI. (either removal or

whatever treatments they may advocate at this time. I had an acoustic neuroma

(vestibular schwannoma) in 1994 and at that time the only treatment considered

was removal. Now I think if it is very slow growing they may be waiting longer

before diving into surgery.

What is your doctor advising and where are you?
