To think something so ugly could be suggled in so close to our beautiful brains!!!
Mine was removed cell by cell essentially, this method must be what accounts for such short O.R. times for people with big tumors (like mine was) where as my OR was something like 15 hours. Kathleen
1st AN surgery @ age 23, 16 hours
Loss of 7-10th nerves
mulitple "plastic" repairs to compensate for effects of 7th nerve loss
tumor regrowth, monitored for a few years then surgically removed @ age 38 (of my choice, not medically necessary yet)

You might want to get that thing zapped to make sure it's really dead and doesn't jump into someone else's head.  :D

My 13 yr old thought it looked pretty "cool".

Thanks again batty. It sure is an ugly sucker! I wish mine had all come out in one piece like that. They had to shave mine off one layer at a time, over 16 hours.
