I'm new to this forum. I got into the lung cancer forum a few weeks ago. While investigating a spinal meningioma, a small lung nodule showed up on my lung. Had a lung biopsy, inconclusive but suspicious, but since the meningioma has my hands numb and is now affecting my gait, it was decided yesterday to act on the meningioma now and when I'm stable to go for a lung wedge resection. Surgery on the M is set for Fri., 7/10.
Does anyone here have experience with a spinal M? Mine goes from the bottom of C3 to the top of C5, compressing the spinal cord in C4 and causing edema in the lumbar region. Any insight on what to expect after surgery would be helpful. Owing to this damn Covid, my husband has to drop me at the hosp. door, ta-ta, hope to see you soon. If I need rehab, God knows when I see him again. I feel very vulnerable. Any pre/post op advice/experiences/words of wisdom would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
