But I guess I have been lucky to meet surgeons willing to share and explain my condition to me.<br /><br />I've been thinking if the government will invest in grooming our best and brightest medical students irrespective of creed and skin color, instead of buying submarines that don't dive or sending a space tourist to the moon, we'd have been able to improve the qualify of life of NF patients in this country. I can focus on completing my degree and not worry about medical costs so much.Yvonne Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908132837504150283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-90153371831705564252011-02-12T10:06:46.768+08:002011-02-12T10:06:46.768+08:00Yvonne,

Dr. Friedman removed the residuals of that tumor in 2004 without further damages to the facial nerve. He removed my left sided AN entirely in 2006 without the slightest damage to my facial nerve on that side.<br /><br />They have a technique to separate the hearing and facial nerve while removing the acoustic neuroma/vestivular schwanoma. Doctors in other parts of the U.S. might know of the technique as well such as Dr. Takanori Fukushima who comes to Malaysia for conference from time to time.Yvonne Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908132837504150283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-11017812331408219702011-02-11T01:37:37.534+08:002011-02-11T01:37:37.534+08:00Mei Teng,

My Acoustic Neuroma removal at KLGH in 2003 was a mistake. It was a benign tumor. I needn't rush into surgery. If only I did more research and resisted immediate surgery, I could have prevented the facial nerve damage. With the facial nerve damaged, the eye no longer produces enough tears to lubricate. This leaves the cornea at risk of drying up and blinding me.<br /><br />If doctors are allowed to publish their CVs and advertise their skills in hospital websites, public health in Malaysia will be much better than it is right now.Yvonne Foonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908132837504150283noreply@blogger.com
