Story about Vestibular Schwannoma .

Crying with One Eye

Dec 2, 2


At 33 years old I was diagnosed with a 4.5 cm LAN. My symptoms were hearing loss, dizzines, and balance issues. Lucky for me, I live near Stanford University where they are conducting a long-term study on Partial Recession of large Vestibular Schwannomas. I met a number of doctors but was unable to participate in the study due to lack of insurance. Somehow, I managed to get a Stanford surgeon to operate on me at a different hospital. Dr. Marco Lee spent 10hours carving a tumor out of my head on December 9th, 2013. My facial nerve wasn't cut and I have full function except for my left eye is very dry dosen't cry and I have numbness in my face and tongue. I have returned to work, driving, it feels good to not be dizzy.
