Welcome

We’re glad you found us.

SCTA is a caring community on the web, established by people just like you, who have been given the overwhelming diagnosis of a spinal cord tumor.  You, and those close to you undoubtedly have many questions.

Adjusting to this diagnosis can be less frightening in the company of others who have gone through the ordeal, and can share their experiences. Please browse, get to know us, join the discussion forum, ask questions, and come back as often as you like.

Knowledge can have a healing effect: there is a wealth of information here for you. In time, you will be able to add an account of your own experiences if you wish. Above all, feel at home. You are among friends. You are not alone.
