Robot surgeon, leg weakness

[Guest guest]

Wow! There's hope for me yet to live to a ripe old age! I just might if they can quit cutting on me. Thanks for posting the article Gil.

Kari: After 11 years I still have a leg weakness. Actually that's one of the things that caused me to see a doctor to start with. Unfortunately I can't tell you which tumor caused this -- they removed 5 and then 4 more 10 days later. I believe (why I don't know) that it was from the one that was on the mid-line of the brain -- near the top & deep down. They said that one was the size of a 50 cent piece. The aftereffects are nearly the same as before -- my right knee just buckles on me sometimes. Sometimes I think I'm doing fine & don't need my cane just then & down I go! Happened again last Sunday -- broke my glasses, skinned both knees & hands -- bruises in wierd places. Anyway -- have them do further testing before going in to try to fix something -- I've never had spinal tumors but have the leg weakness.
