I am so excited. I just got a call to confirm that I have been accepted to attend the National Canadian Spinal Cord Conference in November.
There will be doctors there from all over the world! I will try and gather as much information as possible to share with all of you! Oh, did I mention that I am so excited?

Choose enlightment in Toronto on the left menu.

I'll be pre-booking the sessions I'm attending, so I'll let everyone here know. If any of you have questions you would like me to ask, send them to me and I'll do my best to get you some answers.

I would be interested in the international progress of minimally invasive spinal cord tumor resection (no laminectomy). Not many US neurosurgeons do it that way yet. Teresa
	Tumor @ C-6/7 (Probably an ependymoma per Dr. Jallo) Tumor 1st discovered June 2007. No surgeries yet (Dr. Jallo said to wait.) Annual MRIs. Neuropathy, neck & shoulder pain, & lots of weired sensations!

Congratulations! All I have to say to you is to get the message out about us Spinal Cord Tumors.
I wanted to join a Brain Tumor Support group back here and they said that I could come but it is mainly geared for Brain Tumors!!!!
I need a support group back here!

Two surgeries for an ependymona, second one done by Dr. Jallo. the surgeries were done in 2002/2003 and 98% of tumor was removed. As of this date, left with deficits but staying positive and keeping mobile!

This is the "fluffy" version after months of immobility. Praise the Lord I'm walking again!

Great!

Anything to get our fine physicians to leave us a few spare parts ;D!
Due to 6 surgeries in my life time with the SCT surgery being the "Mother of All Surgeries" (at least for me) my grown children laugh because my drivers license still says organ donor - they want to know what's left. Smart Alec's !

Congrats!

Laminectomy C6-T2 to remove meningioma benign tumor, June 10, 2008. Performed by Dr. Kyle Mangels of Oklahoma Spine and Brain Institute. Second surgery July 6, '08 to track down infection, none found just body fluids pooling on surface of muscles right under skin. Now walking with a cane short distances. Bladder and bowel function are almost good as new! Thank you Jesus and Dr. Mangels
