Hi guys,
I am 32 yo male that was diagnosed with spinal cord L3 ependymoma grade 2 about 3 months ago. It was found sudden when I did MRI to check my abdominal organs. I did not have any symptoms.
Before a surgery surgeons thought that it is a schwannoma. But turned out it is the ependymoma. Which doctor said benign but the internet thinks differently. And as far as I understood, it is not a benign tumor but at the same time not as malignant as other kinds. It is kind of in the middle. Correct me if I am wrong.
The main question is have you ever experienced issues with digestions before a diagnose? I have started experiencing digestion issues almost 3 years ago. Constipation, undigested food and so on. I underwent endoscopy and colonoscopy but nothing was found. Tried many diets and supplements but nothing work. Have done a lot of blood tests and they did not show anything suspicious. Gastroenterologists already do not know what to suggest to me. After all, I start thinking it could be a liver issue. Because ultrasound showed polyps in a gallbladder. All blood tests related to the liver look normal as well. I am already losing clue what is going on with me.
I would appreciate any thoughts on it.
