Important note on this diagnosis — This text offers a psychological interpretation. With a cancer or tumour diagnosis, medical treatment belongs in the hands of physicians. BodySignal accompanies you in understanding the inner side of your symptom and complements medical care.
Your Body Is Speaking
A tumour on the membrane of the spinal cord. Something is growing there, where your central nervous system runs — the channel that connects brain and body, that makes every movement, every sensation, every living impulse possible. Medically, a meningioma of the spinal canal is a tumour that grows from the meninges and increasingly compresses the spinal cord. The symptoms — numbness, weakness, pain, sometimes paralysis — show what happens when this channel is narrowed.
But the psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: What in your life is compressing the channel between your thinking and your feeling? What is growing silently and steadily, cutting off the connection between head and body? What has placed itself between your mental being and your physical experience — so slowly that you have barely noticed?
