JenniferLe posted about taking estrogen, that supposedly makes desmoid
tumors grow more aggressively from what I have read and what my doctors
said. I don't think this is info I should post. I am not a doctor.

Sorry I didn't see your recent note about having a tumor in your ear. It is quite possible that it's causing you balance problems. I still will advise you to see your doctor ASAP before you have a fall.

Unless the tumor is in your ears or somewhere in your brain (not likely) my assumption would point to an allergy, fluid in the inner ear, maybe even a slight cold. Go see your family doctor before jumping to conclusions. It probably is an easy fix and not much to worry about.
