Susie Bowser
I was diagnosed with Syringomyelia, have a chiari malformation, and am scheduled for surgery for it at Cleveland Clinic, on June 26th. This was my 2nd opinion, as the lst opinion, they wanted to wait til my illness progressed, but with this surgery, I have a 95% chance that my cyst in my spinal cord will shrink. Sincerely, Susie Bowser they said that they are going to get rid of what is causing the cyst, as there is a blockage. My doctor is Dr. Edwin Benzel, the director of all of Neurosurgery, chief neurosurgeon, there. I was diagnosed with this jan. of this year, as my arms are aching, very weak, have no strength in them, and have numbness in my rt. thigh.
