Rachel Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Just received resuts from MRI. Looks like my Thecal Sac has tumors floating around in there. My Oregon Doc has recommended heading south immediatly for tests & treatment. Not an easy thing to do when you live up here & have dogs to farm out. Thank god for good friends to help out. I'll probably be off for a bit. Fly to Oregon on Friday & may go right into the hospital. This may call for a hall pass!! I'll get back to you when I can. In the meantime be happy & healthy. Has anyone had thi happen? I would like your views. Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how we worry about our pets, as I had to go through that situation of boarding them out as well. Good luck to you, and we'll be looking for your Updated posts.

Roseymac Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Rachel, Wishing you a safe trip, not sure what it is, but it sure sounds like the Dr.s already have a plan for you to resolve it. Rosemary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 The thecal sac is a thin walled tube filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the spinal cord . CSF is the cushiony fluid that protects the brain and spine and helps distribute nutrients to these structures. I just looked that up, boy do I wish I knew everything! Best wished on your trip and with your treatment Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
