Im having a laminectomy to remove a tumor attached to the cord at t9. They can't tell if it's a meningioma or schwannoma at this point. The surgeon said it was a super easy surgery, two days in hospital with two week recovery. Is this true? Can anyone share their experience? Pain after, symptoms etc. I have rsd from a rib resection for venous tos and I'm scared to death of it spreading. Any info would be great, thank you.
