Here we go again!
and we are hoping that the news is there is NO CHANGE in the remaining cavernoma in his right temporal lobe.
We realize it's very possible the cavernoma has grown and would thus explain his increased seizure activity this summer. I hope he does not have to face a second surgery -- we've already decided if it comes to that, we will fly out to Arizona to consult the nation's top guy in this field since the brain area involved is much more sensitive/delicate and his current neurologist said he would have just removed the entire hippocampus on that side of his head instead of the more selective procedure we opted for last time (at a different hospital). We're always leery about people who are quick to cut anyway, but especially with this particular part of the body!
husband has already had a few seizures today, and although they're not the convulsive type, they wipe him out.
I'll let you know what we find out! Please cross your fingers
