Here goes nothing; I'll be under the knife in the morning.  I'll get back to you all when I can operate the keyboard without falling off the edge of the earth. ;)  Wish me luck, people!

Hi 'eggroll'...

Very best of British luck to you for a successful outcome. We look forward to your first 'postie' post!

Residing UK. In 'watch & wait' since diagnosis in March 2002 with right side AN. Initially sized at 2.5cm and now self reduced to 1.3cm.
All symptoms have abated except impaired hearing on affected side which is not a problem for me.
