Hippocampus tumor

I know I’m very late, but I have the same thing going on- sort of. I’ve had two brain tumours in the past that were removed along with a partial lobectomy for seizures, but now after 5 years they found a tumour in my hippocampus. They can’t biopsy it and they can’t do the LiTT because it’s too dangerous. They said much can’t be done because I’ve already had a lot of surgery- and having my amygdala removed would make it harder to touch my hippocampus. I’m heart broken because this started when I was 12 and I’m 25 now. Do you think this surgeon would help me? (I’m from Canada)

Welcome, @jessoneill. I'm tagging @jkenser to make sure she sees your post and question.

Jessoneill, that is hard news to hear from your specialists that not much can be done. If you would like to get a second opinion with Mayo Clinic experts, you can submit a self-referral (even as a Canadian).
