Sorry to read this. What did the doctor say?

One of them said it was nothing one said it is a very important tumor and a biopsy is needed to be done but it may also turn a benign tumor into a malign one so it is dangerous and even if we want the lesion to be removed it is again too risky because of the proximity to the facial nerve.

I see. I hope everything will be fine. Keep us updated. Stay strong

I am curious, did it show something on the audiogramme? I did 3 audiogrammes and the doctors told me "there's nothing, no need for MRI"

@MuffinMan hey, my audiogram was perfect up until 8000hz. The MRI was for my temporamandibular joint to rule out any joint dysfunction possibility.

How did you find out that you have TMJ? what were your symptoms?

Doesn't this mean that once they treat this lesion, there is a chance that many of your health problems will eventually go away? Or did your doctor tell you that this lesion will be hard to treat?

Yes but doctors opinion differ. Some say it is nothing and it can not cause T or related problems, some say it may be definitely something important but they are unsure about its probability to cause T. We don't actually know where exactly is the lesion located, so again unsure if it will be risky to remove it (might be too close to facial nerve), so in a nutshell, nothing is clear.
