Support and advocacy for Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma) and hearing loss (especially single sided deafness)


Podcast Episode 8: Kim’s Story

In this episode Kim shares about her complicated treatment journey for her acoustic neuroma. Kim had a larger tumor and was pretty symptomatic, so her surgery was fairly immediate. She had some unusual complications, including multiple blood clots in her brain that necessitated additional brain surgeries. All of these issues meant a longer and bigger recovery. Then at her five year MRI she found out she had regrowth and proceeded to have radiation. Despite all these challenges, Kim’s positive energy really shines through as she shares navigating all of these difficulties to land in a place where she is feeling well and leading a full and busy life.
