| Publisher Description: By the time I was diagnosed with an Acoustic Neuroma the tumour was the size of a walnut. Within the space of a few weeks I was booked in for a big operation and facing some major lifestyle changes. At the time, personal accounts about an Acoustic Neuroma removal, what it is and what to expect in the weeks following the operation were few and far between. I wrote a day-by-day diary in the immediate weeks following the operation and as time went on updated this account and included the ups and downs of the experiences of having a BAHA implant. If you, or a family member, have been diagnosed with an Acoustic Neuroma, or are thinking of having bone anchored hearing aid, this book offers a unique first-hand account of the days, weeks, months ... and years post operation and what to expect as part of the recovery process. |
