Guest guest Posted December 13, 1999 Report Share Posted December 13, 1999 , is right from my experiences. I'm not sure how large my tumor was at the time of my surgeries but my scare is approx. 9 " long. An MRI 3 years ago showed the remain portions of the tumor were 1.5cm X 2 cm and 1cm X 1.5cm I had my last MRI in Octover this year and they had grown to 2cm X 2.5cm and 1.5cm X 2cm respectively. I'm not totally sure but it sounds like my tumors where/are in approx the same place as your husband's. My primary care physician is appearently not alarmed at this size or growth. But he is consulting with a neurosurgeon. All of the surgeons who were at the hospitol when I had my surgeries are either retired or moved on. Oh, and I've tried to e-mail you a time or two but they were returned. Tim from Okla > >My husbands tumors are in the cervical spine and junction. The spinal > >cord is expanded.
