Had a follow up MRI on my brain tumor to see what is going on. ITS STABLE!!! Since its not cancerous, no growth means no need for brain surgery or gamma radiation treatment! Still a small chance that could happen in the future and I have to go for another check in 1 year, but the doctor said most of the time when growth stops it does not grow any more. I'll have an annual MRI for 3 years, if no growth after that another MRI 5 years later and if still no growth, then no more MRIs.
Unfortunately the partial hearing loss and ringing in my left ear is permanent and that sucks. But if I would have had to have brain surgery or radiation the doc said I had a high chance of full hearing loss on the left side due to the location of the tumor. Its possible that I will lose it anyway because the tumor is attached to the hearing nerve, but if that happens it will be a very slow gradual process that is much easier to adjust to than losing it all at once.
Just wanted to share the great news and thank everyone that saw my initial posts about it for the kind words of encouragement.
