Spinal Cord Tumor | Bridget’s Story

- čas přidán 2. 02. 2020
- Diagnosed with a rare spinal cord tumor known as a hemangioblastoma, Bridget sought treatment from the experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Middle schooler Bridget is an avid soccer player, but she and her family members noticed she was experiencing weakness, numbness and loss of coordination in her right leg. Pediatric neurosurgeon Mari Groves successfully removed the #SpinalCordTumor, and Bridget received rehabilitation at the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Bridget also had genetic testing at #JohnsHopkins due to a family history of spinal cord lesions. Bridget is now symptom-free and enjoying her active life.

Not everyone is that lucky, my gf was diagnosed backbone cancer in Malaysia. The cancer spread to her stomach and then back neck near the brain area. She has removed both spread cancers and now still fighting the backbone cancer. She vomited everything she ate and drank with blood daily for almost 6 months. She is the strongest woman I have ever met (I am not exaggerate) and she is just in her early 30s. Worst is she is an orphan and previously was physically abused by her ex. I just wish God has mercy at least let her make it even if she needs to walk with the help of cane or something its ok. Just wish she can make it.
How is she now?
Hi... Just came across ur msg... Hows ur gf?
Spinal tumor left me unable to walk,Or feel hot or cold.Had emergency surgery in April. Told in 6 months to a year I’d be somewhat back to normal started standing and walking 6 to 8 weeks after Not completely walking without assistant of cane or walker and sometimes long trips with a wheelchair because of pain. I do walk 5000 to 10000 steps a day with the cane. Stay positive and stay strong.
Can I call you and talk to you about my spinal tumar than was removed yesterday
thank you Ivy, reading this gives me hope. Yesterday i was diagnosed with metastatic lung and spinal cancer.
@@madblackjamacan9316 hey, was it removed before it came out like visible on your skin?
@@nuureTUBE it’s never came out sweety it was in my spinal canal between t1-t5 removed with laminectomy surgery weschester hospital
@@madblackjamacan9316 what's your symptoms prior the diagnosis thank u
Brought tears to my eyes so glad Bridget can do all the normal tasks she used to do be a normal kid of her age..Kudos to the Doctors!!-
That's one doctor with a golden heart.
I wish adults could get this kind of care. I don't understand why it only exists for children. Because sometimes people fall through the cracks for a long time.
So true
Thank goodness it exists for children.
I love this hospital and this doctor’s kindness
Can doctors stop referring people to physical therapy when they actually have cancer? I've heard of that happening too many times - and it's happened in my own family...
how were they supposed to know she had cancer?? a doctor’s job isn’t as easy as you think it is.
Same thing happened to my sister. Now her both legs are paralysed
@@burnt.norton then they should tell people “hey this is really hard get a second opinion I don’t know what I’m doing “
@@honobuyonezawa2054 yes
Watching this video give me so much hope. My daughter was recently diagnosed with a similar condition. She has follicular thyroid cancer that has migrated into her spinal cord. We are currently waiting on a suitable treatment plan and will hopefully avoid any surgical intervention. My heart is with anyone who has dealt with anything similar.
Pray she is fully healed
Is she okay?
Jesus said, " Do not be afraid, just believe and she will be healed". She will be okay..
Same thing happen to my father . I hope she is well.Blessings
how is she now@@arkynelson2303
Wow you really work as a team. Hope i get chance to work in such a team
PKA podcast fan really hoping that Taylor’s wife can have doctors and surgeons this talented for the tumor in her spine
This is Jennifer Sinclair. My father had physical therapy for undiagnosed cancer too. But his misdiagnosis cost him his life.
John Hopkins is the best
God I need healing of this
Praise the Lord hallelujah 🙌 🙏

My daughter age 6 just lost function to her right leg on Christmas day, 2021. She had surgery on Jan 3rd, and is in rehab right now at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. She was diagnosed with an intramedullary spinal hemangioma that was from T2-T5. If there is any support group or way I could connect with other parents who have been through this it would be very helpful.

Wow im not the only one who has a spinal tumor
My brother has recently been told he has an inflamed mass on spine. He can't walk with it. Had MRI and CT scan but still unsure if it is a tumour or not. He is now waiting for an appointment with another hospital to see if they know what it is. Hopefully he finds out soon. Sending you all positive healing vibes 🧡💛💚
@@samarraalexander5759 I hope it's nothing big. I have same issues. I have low back pain, and i experience pain especially when I sleep. I'm worried
@@arkynelson2303 Thankyou Arky. My brother recently found out that he has a tumour but it is benign. He is currently taking steroids to help him walk more. There is a one year waiting list for an operation, so we can only hope and pray that it doesn't get any bigger. I hope you find out what is wrong with you too, and it isn't too serious. Sending you positive healing hugs.

It has been 14 weeks since i got spinal tumor(Schwannoma) removal surgery. Tumor was at l2-l3 region. Now i am feeling constant dull pain in lower left back but sometime it goes towards my buttocks and leg as well. Is it normal after surgery and will get better with time? Or, is this chronic condition? I am really worried and in pain.
Thanks for reaching out. For specific medical questions, please reach out to your doctor.
How areyou now ?
I have been experiencing low back pain only when I sleep.. I'm worried what could be the problem 😭😭
Am going through the same actually and am extremely worried to
It maybe just wrong position while sleeping. Or you maybe need to drink plenty of water.bec pain sometimes lack of water in the body. Try to have a giant bean bags, or U pillow. Cut sugary, eat healthy food, healthy smoothies with nuts. Have faith. You'll be healed.. In Jesus name.🙏🏻
