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.

my tumor is in my extremity and yes for me it does affect my balance an R.O.M. but that may be because of the location and involvement of muscle fascia nerves and tendons

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.
