Astrocytoma: Opting for Surgery

Dear,
my daughter who is 2.5 years old was diagnosed with astrocytic spinal cord tumor.
The tumor was detected by MRI imaging, after which neurosurgeons in Belgrade (Republic of Serbia) immediately performed the operation. We didn't have more than 3 days to make a decision whether or not to agree to the operation. We agreed because the doctors suspected that it was a malignant tumor and that the operation was urgent. After the operation, our daughter was left without the ability to move her legs, nor the ability to control her sphincters. Also, the tumor was not completely removed by surgery.
Now we are looking for a hospital and doctors who would take over to operate and remove the remaining part of the tumor.
Can you give us a suggestion of a doctor in the hospital where you were a patient?
Thank You !
Best regards!

@biljana, this is such a scary time for you and your family. If consulting with experts at Mayo Clinic is an option for you and your daughter, here is how to inquire as an international patient:
