    Same here. A couple of months before my surgery I got curious and looked up how the surgery is operated on the spine. Only for me I was interested instead of becoming anxious. Interested enough that I asked my doctors to take some pictures of my spine once they make the incision before and after they insert the rods and screws. I was only a bit nervous for when I was situated in my room at the hospital, but it all kills over once they give you meds and a few breaths of anesthesia. Don't worry about it.

    I'm sorry to hear that you have scoliosis and my heart goes out to you. I don't know much about scoliosis but I can relate a little in that I was also very upset when I found out that I had sun damage in my left eye. I don't have cancer but I have to wear sunglasses and hats all the time. I'm supposed to to wear sunscreen all the time and I rarely go in the sun except for occasionally swimming with at least a 50 SPF. I do what I can as far as skin cancer prevention but the treatment for skin cancer of the eye terrifies me.

    Are there any kind of preventative measures you can take to help protect your spine?
