@dianapro13, I can see you are very worried for your son. If you would like to seek a second opinion with Mayo Clinic experts, you can submit a request to any of the 3 major locations in AZ, FL or MN. Here's information to get started http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

It is rare that chemotherapy is the root cause of seizures, but it can happen. Read more here: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/side-effects/seizures.html

It is hopeful that his tumor has shrunk. Has his medical team determined the sources of his seizures?

Thank you for the concern. The tumor has shrunk and doctors are pleased with his progress. They have not given a clear reason for the seizures just keep saying things will improve with time. Not sure exactly what that means. I am fairly certain that he has reached out to Mayo Clinic. However, I also know that he does not want to fly right now and we live quite a distance from the ffacilities. Not sure how that works?
