Is there an AN group on Facebook or is just the various forumites who are there.     I am but don't comment much. I think it has been mentioned before but can't find it.            Just wondering.

Just search vestibular schwannoma. There are three groups. I went there a lot in the beginning, but rarely now. Joe Bloggs is a mod on one of the three.
Diagn Apr 14 2009 with 2.5 cm lt AN. - numbness in the face and sudden onset headaches accompanied by balance issues. Consults with Drs in S Ontario, California (House) and Vancouver. Picked Dr. Akagami in BC.
Retrosigmoid July 6, 2010, 3.0cm by then. SSD left, no other significant side effects.

I'm not on Facebook - although Lori and Kay are; there always has to be one "odd" one in the "family" LOL

I am on the Cochlear Community (frequently) and the BUSK site (on occasion).  They're both great places for those thinking about a BAHA; and for those who have them.

Jan
Retrosig 5/31/07 Drs. Battista & Kazan (Hinsdale, Illinois)
Left AN 3.0 cm (1.5 cm @ diagnosis 6 wks prior) SSD. BAHA implant 3/4/08 (Dr. Battista) Divino 6/4/08  BP100 4/2010 BAHA 5 8/2015

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
