The specialist I saw on Friday informed Mimi and I (and mom via Mimi's phone during the appointment) that though I do need surgery soon, I can wait till I get back to the States in June/July. He did some tests to check my facial nerve and as it is no affecting it now, he thinks I should be okay to wait. Now, he also said I couldn't wait up to a year as it has been growing for 6-7 plus years already. He wants me to take another ear test to test if and how much my inner ear is affected (he doesn't think it has spread that far based on the scans and tests he did during the appointment), but he does want to be sure. So, at this point it's finding a specialist in the States, and in network, familiar and skilled with this type of surgery. Mom and dad are compiling a list of specialists in network that we can give to the specialist here, in hopes that he can direct us to a reliable physician. I know I owe more explanations and I do have more 'fun' things to relay from the past few weeks, but I'm tired and going to go to be now, so maybe tomorrow ;)
