Hi Sonya,

I am glad that things worked out so well for your mom. It is very common for the facial nerve to be "thinned" out when the tumor is large, because it is wrapped around it. How is her facial function now?
Take good care of your mom, and make sure she gets lots of rest so that her body can heal.

Best wishes,
Marianna
