CK going back again after 8 years
« on: December 19, 2019, 02:39:42 pm »
Has anyone had CK done twice on the same AN?

May of 2012 I had CK (size was 12.5 mm), last week found out the results of my last MRI; growth of 1 1/2 mm.  Current MRI compared to my MRI in 2017 which was 11 mm now it's 12X13 mm. 

Also, being treated for Meniere's disease in my "good" ear which only has 68% word recognition. 

Very concerned about this second go around since I'll be recouping at home by myself.  I have started calling around to Visiting Angels and Home Instead for information.

Going in two weeks for first consultation with oncologist.  I really don't want to have this done again but the neurotologist said it's not going to stop growing or shrink on it's own.   :'(

I've been looking over my old posting to try to remember what it was like after CK, maybe that's not a good idea since I'm 8 years older and the body is much different now; SSD left, balance issues etc.  Doc said well at least you have all that so you don't need to worry about or get use to it.  (smart A)  :-X

Diagnosed October 2011
Oct '11-9 X 6 mm left ear
Mar '12 - 1.25cm
Tinnitus, imbalance, and mild dizziness (ditsy)
My AN = Annoying Nuisance
Jan'12 W&W
May'12 CK completed
Oct'12 hemifacial spasms
Dec'19 It's back

Chloes mema,
I notice it has been awhile, but wanted to see what you decided and how it has turned out?
Thank you.

As it turned out another MRI showed that it had shrunk slightly so now I'm back on annual MRI's.

Chloes mema,
I'm curious - did the CK make any of your symptoms worse or did you already have the balance issues and SSD prior to CK? Glad to hear you didn't have to do a second round of CK.
