Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The nature and extent of recovery depends upon the amount of spinal cord damage due to the tumor (ependymoma) or the spinal cord surgery. This information can be obtained by looking at your MRI spine reports. In any case, the recovery process in your case would be slow and is likely to be incomplete. Doing regular exercises and taking good diet would help you recover better. Also, please have a positive outlook towards life, to ensure good recovery. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
