I waited to long for a spine surgery, and it ruined a lot. My quality of life is ruined and it wasn't just that surgery. I 'm 29, can't walk, type, or see out of one eye. I'm considering refusing surgery. My worry is they will keep me alive w/o my consent. How big does a brain tumor have to be to be lethal? Will I have access to pain meds IV, my tolerace is 4mg diladid every 4hrs. Will I suffer???



don't ask alot , cause it's hard to type..

You should discuss these questions with your neurosurgeon. Also you have a long talk with your family about getting a living will and/or a power of attorney prior to surgery.

I wanted more than one opinion. Traveling is hard, that is why I don't go to a lot of doctors. Can any one guess what I have?

A) if this is real (which I doubt it is) I am sorry to hear that
B) SDN is definitely not a place for medical advice

A) It's true, what do u need?
B) These r more gen. questions, but at least med students can guess the disease.

Well, it says on the MRI report so I'm going to go with hemangioblastoma.
