I just found this forum while searching for information about Acoustic Neuroma. I was diagnosed with MS in 1989 and have lived fairly successfully with it over the years. I've had a few major attacks and several smaller ones. MS is not new to me. lol In the last year, I've moved from relapsing/remitting into secondary progress. I've started to use walking aids.
I had a MRI as a progress check for MS in January - good news ... no new lesions ... bad news ... I have a tumor! I was diagnosed with a 1cm tumor in my left ear canal. All this time the hearing loss in my left ear, tinnitus and a feeling of pressure was assumed to be MS. I'm scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks.
Does anyone else out there have experience with this type of tumor? Did you have surgery? or not?
Please share your experiences with me. I'm nervous about the surgery.
