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...
