Real stories from people affected by schwannoma.
Here you can read and listen to personal experiences of symptoms, diagnosis, surgery, treatment, hearing or balance changes, recovery and life after a schwannoma diagnosis.
Schwannomas are tumours that develop from Schwann cells, which help protect and support nerves. They can grow on different nerves throughout the body, including cranial nerves around the brain. Some schwannomas, such as vestibular schwannoma, can affect hearing and balance.
Every person’s experience is different. Symptoms and treatment depend on which nerve is affected, the tumour’s size and location, and the individual circumstances.
