Are my seizures related to chemo? Who can help with this?

Hi,
It seems your cancer is under control, with main worry now being whether past medication/treatments for cancer are now causing the currently experiencing seizures.
Best is to make a list of treatments/medications you used to take, from when-when and show all scans results you used to take to your neurologist if he/she is unable to access your records. It will save you lots of time redoing scans which you may no longer need to do.
Be as detailed as you can. Especially when it comes to duration/time of any treatment and prepare your answers in advance when being asked symptoms. And again, when does one start/frequency will be helpful.
All the best!
Cheers,
Louis

@louissc this is first time i think after my chemos its happened (and this was the 6th one), and yes the neuro has access to the records, that was reason i got in with a neuro there... tbh its first neuro i had seen in prob 20 years, simply because the dilantin had kept everything under control and wouldn't have even considered changing it except for the fact that dilantin doesn't play nice with one of the drugs they were wanting to put me on for the cancer treatments and vimpat would. Although now its up in the air whether it will be that drug or something else as "maintenance" ...lot will depend on what the followup CT scans show next week... its more of the do i discuss the seizures with the doc or no...and which doc ...IF i do..
