After a few phone calls this morning, this is what I know. I know I will be having surgery first, then a couple weeks later I will be in radiation. I will be doing another MRI this afternoon for a different view of my spine. I will meet with Dr. Kenneth Yonemura, a neurosurgeon in the morning to discuss the surgery and figure out how emergent this surgery will be. That's all I know for now. I will write more when I know the date of surgery and try to figure this all out. Frankly I am getting a little nervous. It's my spine. Scary
