Painful symptoms

hi can I ask at what point do you think this isn’t something to just live with? My headache is constant , hearing almost completely gone, swallowing unusual and complete numbness on the right side of my face? I’m waiting for ENT after neurologist saw my scan? I can see wait time vary but if the see it’s a big tumour do you think they will see you sooner? I waited 8 months for first phone call with neurologist and I’m fed up with pain and symptoms 😞 should I contact ENT myself ??

I would say yes. Change of symptoms increase in pain, more symptoms would need flagging. Hope all goes well

Hi, I would contact them to let them know about your symptoms and the severity of these. Hope you get seen soon.

Hey Zobo47! How did you get on? Hope you have a clearer plan for managing increased symptoms and knowing what’s going on in there. X
