Question: (i was nine when i was diagnosed)
Also, i overheard my parents talking about surgery on the phone with my doctor from CHOP, im too scared to know any more about surgery. But I dont know if i should ask. I've had a rough 2 years, please help.

I don't know what kind of surgery they were talking about but ON is generally not treated with surgery but with steroids. There is also an association with multiple sclerosis and if that is suspected treatment with interferon could be considered as well. Be up front with your parents and ask them to explain the situation as they know it. Not knowing always causes the worst fear, and there is probably nothing to worry about here anyway.
