Is There A Way To Avoid Surgery To Overcome Acoustic Neuroma?
I got acoustic Neuroma of 3.5 by 4.6 cm and plenty of cyst associated with it - Problem is apart from 70% hearing loss( i can still use it for phone conversation) i don t have any serious side effect like balace problem, head ache or dizziness - i do some mild excersise always such as walking etc. People who did surgery says they have knife slice pain, dizzness etc - i am curious what should i do? bit confused in fact - In youtube some doctors shows MRI images of Marijuana shrinking tumor in 6 to 8 months.Is that true? Can i avoid surgery? thanking

Hello,
You can avoid surgery for the moment, as your symptoms are not severe. Marijuana is not a treatment option. Radiosurgery and gamma knife is a possible option. You should discuss with your surgeon on this possible issue.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
