Andrea248, I was misdiagnosed with a spinal hemangioma which turned out to be a plasmacytoma that ate through my spine to the spinal cord in the lumbar region. I had to have spine surgery because my back collapsed and had 8 weeks of radiation and chemo. Through all of this I now have myeloma.
I would get a second opinion from another spine specialist.
Hope this finds everyone doing well. Hang in there. God has all of us.
