Have just joined today and am looking to talk to anyone who like me has had a thoracic ependymoma - mine was at T7 - T10. My surgery was 25 years ago and I would like to hear from others who have had surgery some time ago. I have declined a lot in the past 2 years and really feel alone with this. Many thanks indeed.
Hi Warby54 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you feel very alone with your diagnosis. Having cancer can be an isolating experience but hopefully you'll find others here who will understand how you feel.
I've had a look in the group and found these posts which mention thoracic ependymoma for you to have a look through. You can then reply to any of the posters if you want to.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi again Warby54
Yes, it would be lovely to catch-up again. I'm currently waiting on the results of my first mammogram since finishing treatment for breast cancer.

Your profile is great Warby54 . I'm sorry that you've also had to deal with two cancers. I guess that when we have one we don't expect to get another!
