I had my follow up appointment with my neurosurgeon yesterday at the Mayo clinic in Rochester. He is one of 4 neurosurgeons in the world that specializes in temporal lobe surgery. I thought of you and your son while I was there and made it a point to ask him if he would be able to surgically remove a tumor that was entangled within the amygdala and hippocampus.. His exact words were "yes absolutely." I told him that you were told it was inoperable and he said that is because not a lot of people operate in that area but he does. He recommends you reach out to him for a consult. I can tell you first hand after just having my right temporal lobe removed 3 months ago by him, that he is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend him to everyone that has a tumor in their temporal lobes. I too, was told my tumor was inoperable and now I am tumor free thanks to this fabulous neurosurgeon. His name is Dr. Terrance Burns and he is at the mayo clinic in Rochester. I hope this information helps you and your son. I am praying for you both. If you have any questions feel free to call me anytime. I private messaged you my number.

God bless you!!! I'll try to reach my son immediately! Will keep you updated!

Hi pattie. I didnt have a tumor in my temporal lobe, but in 2001 i had my right temporal lobe, hippocampus, and amygdala removed due to epilepsy. I have been seizure free and med free since. I have not experienced any bad side effects from the surgery. I also had my surgery at the mayo clinic in rochester performed by dr. W Richard Marsh. Any questions feel free to ask.

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)
