CT scans seem to work well today; some specialized facilities have a special one for C-tomas (Weill Cornell, NYC). If this is NOT your 1st C-toma and your intuition is telling you IT'S BACK, ADVOCATE for yourself! Doctors DO NOT always know what the patient does!
Use the Castle Connolly Directory, or if you are in a major city research 'Top Docs', 'NY best doctors', 'Best doctors in America', etc. (most of these lists, found in your local area magazine, are taken from Castle Connolly). Find a NEUROTOLOGIST not Otolaryngologist. Be sure they are at an EXCELLENT hospital too! ASK how they handle you when you wake up in recovery if you are in pain. Is there an Anesthesiologist there to quickly administer pain meds? I had 4 surgeries; my 1st at a BAD facility; probably with my BEST surgeon....I would not return for operation #2, their recovery dept. S*&Ked!
