My Story:

Nine years ago I was diagnosed with an Acoustic Neuroma, a non-cancerous brain tumor. After many anxious doctor visits at that time, we decided to try Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery. For nine years I would yearly go to the doctor and receive a no change report. I began having Hemifacial spasms this summer and used Botox to treat the symptoms. (This was painful - I don't know how or why movie stars do that!) On December 21, I received the news that my tumor had grown. I will be having the tumor removed and then at the same time I will also be implanted with a Cochlear Implant. The Implant will allow me to have two-sided hearing. ( I have been single sided deaf for almost nine years.)
My recovery journey will be three-fold. I will be recovering from the surgery itself, my brain will be recovering from the impact it will receive from surgery, and I will be learning to hear again on my right side. Thank you for your continued support. My husband will be posting updates to this site.
