Hello, I had a grand mal seizure at 4am on my birthday 4/11/2016 and was lucky I had friends with me in my room on vacation. I woke up in hospital in Chicago and my family had already had flown in and were there when I came through. Knew it couldn’t be good! Eleven days later taken home to MN to The Mayo in Rochester by ambulance and they quickly figured out it was a tumor that caused the seizure and two days later I had the craniotomy. A couple weeks after I got the call. Lateral Right temporal lobe AA3. Had standard radiation and chemo ( temadar). MRI every 3 months now and so far so good. I experience some fatigue and tinnitus but I can handle that! Next MRI on 10/2. Thank god for the staff, nurses and doctors at the Mayo! I also love this community and try my best to help and give back what I can.
