My wife was diagnosed earlier this year with a "schwannoma" or a tumor on the nerve between the brain and the ear. The Schwann cells are involved in myelation, but just how is above my pay grade. It's "benign," (whatever the heck that means for a tumor.) Seems not to be growing quickly. Just prior to the diagnosis, she experienced a lot of strange visual symptoms that I wrote about here. Those symptoms have been obviated by eye exercises from a specialist. I think it was the tumor, and the exercises allow her to compensate.
It is apparently one of the more common types of tumor. Somewhere I read that something like 1 in 3000 people will get one at some point in their life.
Wife is triple jabbed. I can't stop wondering. But she won't hear any of my anecdotal speculations, regardless.
