Hi, Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:1)As per your history is concerned you had muscle weakness since age 29, and now you are 43, and it was due to spinal cord tumor for which you did surgery this year but I am in doubt why did you delay in surgery, if you had done it before then you may not have this situation today.2)secondly you are saying that you have fresh tumor till now inside anterior horn cell inside brain, so it also should be removed, and its tissue should be examined for the type of tumor.3)It is a very toe case if you can share your MRI report I can give you a nice suggestion. I hope I was able to ad Chat Doctor.  If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best. Thanks,
