Not sure I agree
The report you copied says this: "SPINAL CORD: No change in small focus of hyperintense signal on the inversion-recovery and T2-weighted
images within the cord at C5-6, consistent with myelomalacia." This recent report was compared to the study done 2011. Therefore, even if they did not report the word "myelomalacia" in 2011, it was there because there has been no change in this finding from 2017 looking back to the comparison in 2011.
So, since there is no change in the signal abnormality representing myelomalacia in nearly 6 years, I was questioning what is different now to push for surgery? Are you feeling different? If the myelomalacia is the big deal, well it was there before.
Just asking.
Regardless of what happens, good luck in your search for the best thing for you.
