Hello;
Hi Sandy, my guess is to have a Translab procedure by an expert team. You obviously would have scar tissue from previous Tx. You'll just have to deal with the facial issues as they arise. One cannot guarantee a Dr's prediction.
The 7th nerve will be monitored during surgery. It is a motor nerve, so, more resilient than the sensory, auditory and vestibular nerves.
One can't guarantee the outcome. Only hope for the best, again, with an expert, and experienced surgical team.
Is the radiation oncologist suggesting more radiation? 5 previous Tx's of what type radiation? Cyberknife? Says something about radiation's affect on the tumor, so ....
Re, the tumor stickiness, that is a question for surgeons as to whether an Antoni A or B celled AN is harder to remove and whether it is a large factor.
Re, blood supply; Destroy one/many, and the tumor often finds others with either cell type.
