Significant Tinnitus Pre-Treatment
« on: October 06, 2013, 06:16:52 pm »
I have pretty signifcant tinnitus with my 1 cm tumor.  I was leaning towards radiation.  Would I be better having translab surgery? My hearing is not good right now, and I don't think it's worth middle fossa.  Will my tinnitus get a lot louder with radiation?

1 cm AN deep in the boney canal.  Treated with 26 treatments of radiation in December, 2013.  Please pray with me that this worked.

I had ck and my tinnitus is about the same.  It is my understanding that treatment does not generally change the tinnitus.
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!
