Thanks for the update. Sorry about your AN 'growth spurt' but they sometimes do that.
Feeling apprehensive when you have to make a decision regarding AN treatment is always a bit nerve-wracking. That is natural and we've all been there - or will be, soon. You'll be fine. Look at all the success stories posted here. You could be next!
Besides, you have to do something, soon. However, I see no need for you to rush things. With the caveat that I hold no medical expertise, I tend to agree with your doctor that, under the circumstances, more waiting-and-watching is probably not a good idea, as much as you might wish that weren't the case. Have your consultations and weigh
all the options carefully, so you'll be comfortable with whatever decision you eventually make regarding treatment.
Gamma Knife is a very viable radiation treatment for small acoustic neuroma tumors, such as yours. It's been used successfully in thousands of patients and is certainly worth considering.
Keep us informed and of course, we wish you all the best.
