May I ask a somewhat silly question:  Is it possible that the AN may contribute to psychological problems before one knows it is hanging around?  Mine is located on the right side of my brain.  I did notice I've had moderate depression for about 1.5 years prior to my diagnosis.  I was just wondering if the two are related.

janitorx:

I'm not a physician so I can only offer a layman's opinion.  While an AN can affect many aspects of our health, I don't believe that (pre-diagnosis) depression is a typical manifestation of this benign tumor.  Of course, I could be wrong.  Frankly, this would be an excellent question for the neurologist you'll be consulting on Tuesday.  I would add it to your list.  It's not a silly question at all.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
