Recently diagnosed w/focal seizures & have breast cancer

Posted by lluedke @lluedke, 2 days ago

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with focal seizures and prescribed 500 mg of Keppra daily. To complicate matters I am also fighting stage 4 metastatic breast cancer that has spread to my spine. Trying to navigate this has been a nightmare. I have stopped my pain medication (hydrocodone) due to complications with Keppra. Any suggestions as to what may help? Emotionally I am on a roller coaster.

I am so sorry to hear! You must be scared. How were you diagnosed with epilepsy? Did they do a MRI of your brain?

How long ago were you diagnosed? Have you had surgery and started chemotherapy?

My hope and prayer is you have a support system of family and friends to help you.
