Our 37 year old son suffered a brain hemorrhage as a result of a depth electrodes study that was done to access the viability of surgery for seizure control.
Following this hemorrhage he has suffered almost daily staring spells that last anywhere from 2 hours to 8 or more hours. His neurologist and neurosurgeon have not been able to identify a cause or a cure. Has anyone else had any experience with this? Once in a stare his day is lost until he falls asleep and comes out of it. Would be interested to hear from anyone about your experiences you may have had. |

Hard to say. It was the left side.
He also has had 2 shunts put in to keep hydrocephalus pressure down |

Hi Kiwi
When his Timor gets to a certain size or it impedes him they go in and resection as much as they can without leaving him disabled from the neck down. He has done 70 rounds of chemo in the past and it grew the tumor. So he no longer will be ever to receive chemo again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
