Under investigation fr Acoustic Neuroma had ENT appo5 days ago hearing is fine , Dr suggested an MRI asap but I'm flying 10 hr to Mexico in 3 days . Slightly concerned as my holiday insurer will not cover me as its presently an undiagnosed condition so wondered if anyone knew if its safe to fly ?? Due to the pressure in cabin etc ? THANKS IN ADVANCE . Jan
