arachnoid cyst in SPINE


so this is my sisters story..

After her second child she starting feeling numbness in her legs, spinal sharp pains, migraines, her gate was wobbly, etc...
she went in for an MRI and they found a Cyst on her spine. She went in for surgery and got some removed.Since it was so wrapped around the spine they couldnt get it all. she cam out of the surgery fine.. she started her therapy and everything seemed like it was going to be okay.
a few week after her therapy she started feeling some of the same symptoms as before the surgery, but greater pain . she went in again to get an MRI and they said the cyst grew, and now thr fibers of the cysts are all along her spine! she is now stuck in a wheelchair or in bed.she is on so much medication its not even funny. she is just not herself at all. the doctor told her she has 3 options. 1, she can get a shunt placed in (however, they said her spinal fluid is pretty thick so who knows this would work in her case), 2. some "new" brain surgery but again, this is a new procedure . how safe is it really?, and 3. they can go in and remove as much of cysts and fibers off her spine as possible , but of course there is a chance of her being paralyzed. how are any of these good options?! they are not . As of right now we are waiting on more info from her doctors (by the way "best spine surgeons from UCLA" )and we are waiting on her insurance, which of course being #$%^#.
In the meantime, I am taking it upon myself to heal her. I am having her juice with nothing but vegetables and some fruits, and I am going to put her on a strict diet of protein (mostly fish) and vegetables. She is also having bowel movement problmes so so far, this has kinda worked. no sugars, dairy, anything with chemicals or pesticides. I have also done the castor oil thing and try to do it twice a day. PLus, i give her as many massages as i can and have her move her legs as much as possible so scar tissue doesnt form, and then she really cant move. she is scared of moving her back because of so much pain, and i am scared scar tissue has already form. i am trying hard to heal her.. please.. if anyone has any suggestions please contact me. you can also email me at sublimez81@aol.com. I need as much advice as possible. Also , if you know of someone that has gone through the same please tell me your story. Thank you and God bless you.
