The prognosis (survival and the degree of neuro deficit) depends on the pathology of the mass and the specialists' expertise. Please trust your doctors and stay positive. There is always hope. Good luck!

Clinical details regarding extent of a cauda equina syndrome and the histopathology of the mass are required to comment appropriately. Would advise at least two neurosurgical consultations, and involvement of an oncologist. Responses to chemotherapy, surgery, radiation are all based on factors not evident in your post.
