11 years post gamma knife

[Dee-dee]

October 10, 2022 will be 11 years since my treatment with gamma knife for a 2.3 cm left side acoustic neuroma pressing on brain stem. During those years I've adjusted to the new normal: tinnitus, one sided deafness, balance issues etc.  Tumor is there but has not grown. Life is good.  Wishing you all well. Dee-dee

Thats wonderful! Am only 4 years out- mine also going well. Gives me hope to read your post. I still have hearing no tinnitus.

That's good news Dee-dee !! Great to hear your progress post 11 years from treatment.

I had a similar size on Left side, displacing the brain-stem, and I had Cyber Knife in 2015. Yes it's an adjustment over the years for hearing loss, tinnitus and some facial numbness, the last two have improved over time, and some tumor shrinkage this year! Overall doing well.

wishing you the best
