Title: Fascial numbness and twitching off and on on wait and watch
Post by: Majeed on March 06, 2025, 11:49:41 pm

I was diagnosed with AN in jan this year 1.3 *1.1 cm
I have occasional tinnitus no hairing loss at all but now i have twitching on AN side and numbness on cheeks i am worried now what to do continue with wait and watch or proceed to radiation treatment (can not do surgery since NS are not as much exp withis tumour in my country)my NS appointment is not until next month. Those who had similar symptoms on wait and watch did you choose treatment or continue to wait ?

Hi Majeed,

If I were you, I would want to consult with my specialist and share what you are experiencing.  He or she would be much more qualified to give you counsel than we would be.  People on the forums have experience with acoustic neuromas, but their situation could be different from your specific case.

I wish you the best on your journey!
