Intramedullar Ependymoma

[madberserk]

I´m 59 years old. I was diagnosed with cervical Ependymoma C5 - C6 to T2 - T3
measuring 74mm x 14mm. In April 06, 2001 had surgery (laminectomy) After it I´m walking with help of a cane.

I´m scared about having surgery again and have a potential permanent damage. Is Cyberknife an alternative to consider ?
Any answers are welcome.

I am sorry you have had to go this but glad you found us.

Have you had a followup and been told you need surgery again?

From what I have read, Cyberknife is not a good treatment for spinal cord tumors.

If you will post in the General forum, more people will be able to answer your questions.

Take care,

Just my opinion - stay away from the cyberknife if possible. It certainly didn't do Tiffany any good...
