My son had a over a 4.5+ tumor pressing on his brainstem.  He had no hearing loss just a small numb spot on his face.  His lasting affects are nerve damage in his throat and one siided deafness.  He has adjusted quite well.  And I am grateful.  He has gone on with his life,  has a few issues to deal with but does very well. 

There is life after AC.

Best,
