Yeah that's the scary possibility of the biopsy. Maybe the technology is more advanged these days it is more unlikely to experience bleeding. But I'll accept whatever the neuros suggest.

I see the operation is the number one treatment but my case could be different. It could be so that the tumor doesn't grow for let's say ten years, then it grows a little etc... The neurosurgeon said the tumor might be very old and there's a specific reason to believe it has been there for 20...

No I actually want to listen what the neurosurgeons suggest. They might have alternative treatment options.

Not sure about biopsy. The neurosurgeon that called me said it is a viable option but it is not without risk. The tumor size is 3x2cm. He said that even if the tumor grows and a surgery is needed, it will "almost surely be succesful". So he was basically saying that the most likely treatment at...

I will get a second opinion of course, I will go to hospital on Tuesday. The photos can tell "it is almost surely benign". I will possibly have to do another MRI.

Neurosurgeon called me. He said it most probably isn't related to tinnitus but it is possible as the hearing nerve is not too far away from the tumor. He also said the tumor is removable but a removal maybe isn't required as he quessed the tumor is very slowly growing.

A neurologist (who has not yet seen the scan images) told me there is no way it is cancerous because my symptoms just don't match. A cancer in the cerebellum would cause very severe neurological symptoms with rapid onset time which obviously is not the case. He also said it should be causing my...

Guys the T started at the same day I had Migraine for the first time of my life. There is usually no headache, only aura. I immediately complained about this to ENT but he said no MRI is needed. I get auras a few times a year. Do u think they both are connected to the tumor? I also have had an...

Thanks for the support. In some ways I feel eased as I knew there was something wrong with me and at least there is a possibility for a better life if the operation will be succesful and some of the tinnitus will reverse itself.

Yes. When I was 14 I went to meet an ENT but he said there's nothing to do. But maybe the tumor is recent and not related to tinnitus. In that case this was a perfect timing to do the MRI before I got any symptons.

Yes but it's not acoustic neuroma. It's sadly a tumor in the brain tissue.

The doc said he doesnt know anything about it but the pics will quickly be sent to the neurosurgeons and they will call me as soon as possible. I think brain tumors will almost always be operated.

If the tumor could succesfully be removed, could it theoritecally be possible to reverse most tinnitus symptons? At the moment I am only afraid of death.

So I have a brain tumor, doctor called me. He said it could be very well behind the tinnitus. It's in the brain and not in the ear canal. I havent had any other symptons. My tinnitus unexplainably started in 2009. It was fairly mild and has got louder and louder over the years. I have got a...
