I am a 41 year old female I have been dealing with neurofibromatosis ever since I was six. Now the tumor has engulfed my carotid artery and my jugular vein on the left side of my neck.it extends to the midline posterior to the airway. I have dizzy spells and sharp pains in my head I have chronic pain and anxiety. Also it appears to displace the left parotid glad anteriorly. Can anyone recommend me to a doctor.

Hello,
I suggest you to consult an onco-surgeon and vascular surgeon. Since the tumor is located at a very strategic location, removal of tumor will require collaboration between onco-surgeon and vascular surgeon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
