Woman discovers brain tumour after losing hearing when ears popped on plane

A lady came upon she had been dwelling with a tumor for 15 years after she misplaced hearing when her ears ‘popped’ on a plane. Nicole Cutler, 28, was flying from California to Boston, Massachusetts, when she skilled the loss and immediately booked an appointment with an audiologist who booked her in for an MRI scan. It revealed Nicole had a brain tumor and she underwent an operation but medical doctors had been only in a position to take away 50 % because it was wrapped around her facial nerve. After MRI scans every six months, in 2023 she came upon the tumor had grown and underwent emergency radiation treatment to shrink the tumor. The therapy did not work and the tumor continued to grow, so in February 2024, Nicole underwent her second emergency brain surgical procedure to take away more of the tumor. Now, Nicole is being monitored with common MRI scans to see if the tumor is growing – which has been secure so far.
