Me! I had the operation 20 years ago, I live in South Devon. Where are you? Happy to chat if you would like to!

Hi thank you for reply. Did you have a Schmowma? Mine had been growing at least 15 years before 1st op. It grew back to full size and I had 2nd neurosurgery June 2016. Was told schnowmas don't grow back! It grew back quick. Now have left side numbness after 2nd op last year. How are you now? I'm near exeter. Where are you?

What is 'Schmowma'?

I Google but no results. I had a cancer tumour removed and the facial nerves on right hand side of my face were severed during the procedure as tumor had climbed all over them. Have since had nerve grafts and plastic surgery as well as some other exciting procedures (including leeches...yummy).
