Well folks after 5 months of testing and searching and reading all that I could....I am scheduled for surgery on October 29 with Dr. Bejjani in Pittsburgh. We will be doing the decompression surgery as well as trying to remove a tumor that is back there too.....scared but just ready to be on the other side!!!
MJ,
Congratulations. It's scary I know but I'm sure it's a relief to finally have a date. Let us know how things are going before and after. We are here for you anytime you need to talk about it. Sending you prayers

Hi MJ,
It will be a huge relief to be on the other side. Now that you have done your research and made your decision, it is time to get your support system gathered around. We are always here for you to help answer questions or to just talk, but you will more than likely need someone with you physically when you get home from the hospital. There will be some things you won't be able to do or just plain will not feel like doing them. Good luck to you!
