Norman the NeuromaMy Acoustic Neuroma Experience

This is the weblog of my diagnosis and treatment of acoustic neuroma. I decided to provide a detailed diary of my experience and decisions as an aid to others with this condition. Perhaps I got a little carried away with the detail, but I wanted to be sure I didn't leave anything out.

I'm an engineer, not a doctor, and any statements or opinons on this website regarding treatment are only my opinion as an AN patient, nothing more. My quotes of some the various people I spoke with about my condition are limited by the accuracy of my memory. My stated opinions of each of these people is based on my limited personal experience with them, and my opinion might improve or decline if I knew them better.

2002 UPDATE: For those who are wondering where I am two years after treatment, I'm still at Boeing and am now working on the new Sonic Cruiser!

2004 UPDATE: For those who are wondering where I am three years after treatment, I'm still at Boeing and am now working in Systems Product Development, supporting existing airplanes and also the new 787 dreamliner!

2005 UPDATE: I'm still working in Product Development, and I now have 2 patents granted!

2006 UPDATE: As of Oct 3rd, I'm a daddy! So if you're wondering why I never get around to my email, now you know why.

2007 UPDATE: My little boy is now 1 year old, and he's way cuter than your kid. I'm now working in Technology Development - I'm not really sure what that is, but it pays the same.
