Spine

got my results after 2 lumbar Mri one with contrast . Now referral to oncology department and the specialist spinal surgeon . Several age related issues like oedema and a tear oh and the differentials are neurogenic tumour or intra thecal cystic tumour  . The tumour is causing displacement and  compression of the conus and displacement of cauda equina nerve roots

  • Welcome to the forum Res although I'm sorry about the tumour that's been found.

    I hope all goes well with your upcoming referral to oncology and appointment with the spinal surgeon but if you'd like to talk things through with someone before you go then do give our cancer nurses a call. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
