And yes, from what I gather this was a pretty rare incident. I was asked if it was ok if an audience could be present during the surgery and how I felt about being in a medical journal (not me per se, but the tumor). I was very cool with both.

Glad you have surgery behind you.
. Some things are only corrected with surgery. I knew you needed that. So glad you had a good outcome, from a surgical standpoint.
You can help others who come along with a tumor on the spinal cord.
Very interesting to learn about rare occurrences.
Please do share your story for us, if you are comfortable with doing that.
Take care...
