The Other Side?
« on: November 21, 2013, 04:48:32 pm »
Wondering whether or not anybody has experienced symptoms on the non-AN side.  I'm having lip twitches and tearing on the opposite side.  Will try to call my radiation oncologist tomorrow and have a follow up MRI in a few weeks but still interested in hearing from my AN peeps.   :-\
3/25/13- dx 18x11x14 mm AN, hearing loss in right ear x 5+ years, 5 sessions of CK completed May 2013, now a "post toastie".  Follow up MRI 4/14/14 - 15x19x11 mm. Stable with some signs of necrosis.
 Yippee!

This is my question as well. I have significant hearing loss and tinnitus on my non-AN side. My AN is very small, 3mm. My doc wants to remove it through surgery in an attempt to save the hearing. However, I understand there is still a 25% chance of still losing my hearing in my AN ear. I have surgery scheduled in January but I am still wavering.

The doctor says the hearing loss in the nonAN ear is not related to the an (most likely).

What are you considering?

I already had CK so I called my radiation oncologist's office and they are going to have him review and decide whether or not to move up my MRI.  I already have no useful hearing in my AN ear.  I hope to receive a callback on Monday.

Heard back from my radiation oncologist's office and moved up the next MRI and follow up visit for the results. Thanks for the good wishes - hoping it's nothing.
