I had a large vestibular schwannoma resected in 2020. I was left with multiple defects from nerve, cerebellum, and brain stem damage.
This is the best, clearest explanation I've seen. That you so much for putting this out there.

Sporadic acoustic neuromas are the most common type. Each year approximately 2, 500-3, 000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with this tumor, which typically affects only one ear. NF2, the genetic variant, is a rare cause of these tumors accounting for only 5 percent of acoustic neuromas.👍
