If you don't mind me asking, what's the original condition you've had for 7 years?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

That sucks. Best of luck to you.

Good luck. My thoughts are with you.

So you say this tumor is often related to the problems you've had for seven years? Then is it likely that maybe it was the tumor that caused your problems in the first place? You didn't say what problem you had, but did you get any mri/other types of imaging done? It may be important to find out what came first, the tumor or your problems. Good luck with your treatment.

i have had numerous mris/x-ray/ct scans done over the 7yrs but my ailment was always in my upper back/neck and was muscular related. so no dr (of the 30+ that i had seen) ever went down lower on my back because i never had any issues with my lower back (or so i thought). it wasn't until i started to walk for exercise that these issues started.

unfortunately a lot of the drs i saw kind of blew me off because i was/am relatively young and at the time was in good health, and good shape which has slowly gone down hill and nothing was showing up on imaging, because it was (i thought) all soft tissue related.

so yes, there is a possiblity that the tumor has been there a long time, just never seen before...not really sure at this point.

this may sound f*cked up, but it is nice to see some validation that there is a problem that others can see as they can't feel my pain. it is just sad that it takes a tumor (malignant or benign, either way it will probably have to have something done it) to show them....

my current neurologist diangosed me about 2+yrs ago going off of what he felt in my upper back and the extreme sensitivity i had in the areas. he asked me numerous times if i had any issues with my lower back or weakness in my legs, which i didn't.

at least we have a new roadmap, not one i would have chosen but a roadmap never the less....

that sucks...if that happend i guess i would need a braille computer output device and then i could feel up girls saying " I need to see what you look like"

 

[bob4432]

UPDATE: went to see my neurologist yesterday. after having him explain the films firsthand it all makes a lot more sense. the reality is that is is probably not cancerous, but will not be known until biopsy. it is in an area that it can be operated on. i go see a neurosurgeon on the 28th.
