Hi. My daughter who is in her mid 20s was just discovered (via MRI) to have a 27x29x25mm tumor that radiologist and a neurosugeon have said is most likely a VS. I'm trying to identify other doctors to consult. She's currently in Atlanta, and has spoken to a neurosurgeon (Jeffery Olson) at Emory (and will talk to a neuro ENT there this week), since that's where she lives and where her MRI was done. She has a video appointment with Henry Brem at Hopkins later this week, and we've requested a consult with Friedman/Schwartz team at UCSD. At first Hopkins seemed most convenient since we live nearby and she could recover from surgery with us, but after reading the forums, it sound like it's not critical to be close by the surgery location for the recovery period. So we're really open to other suggestions of teams/hospitals. She already has severe hearing loss in one ear, but no other symptoms. Where/who else should we consider? Mayo? Other east coast/mid-atlantic area hospitals? Thanks in advance for any advice.
