Recently Diagnosed with Spinal Cord Tumor

[rm1976]

Hello everyone,

I recently got diagnosed with spinal cord tumor at C7 - T1 level. I contacted Dr. Jallo and emailed him my MRI images. Dr. Jallo thinks that most likely its benign and ependymoma. He has suggested that it does not need urgent surgery and can be scheduled in next few months. I have taken appointment with Dr. Jallo for this Tuesday.

just checking with every one if they can share their experience and anything I need to do to prepare for my surgery.

Hi RM1976,

I had my tumor removed in the same location. Best thing is probably to search my early posts for info.
