Any info on epilepsy post-CDiff & temporal lobe brain tumor?
In November of 2015 I developed a bad case of cdiff. By the time I got to the hospital that had the new medicine for cases as severe as mine, my son was told I had a 25% of survival. After being in the hospital for 2 weeks I wanted OUT. In January I had 2 car accidents and was transported to the hospital by ambulance because I was unable to communicate. I didn’t remember any of it. My physician sent me for an EEG and a MRI. Where they diagnosed me with epilepsy and a brain tumor. I have been told that the epilepsy was caused by the septic state my body went into after the CDiff. They have no idea when the tumor first developed and I have had no significant growth from one MRI to another. I first had them every 6 months and have now been moved to two years, so there has been growth in the last 6 years.
Does anyone else have information to share on this? Yesterday I was told that I have white spots on my brain that indicated areas of my brain that are dying. These are not on any previous MRI’s. I’ve had a rough day today.

Do you have Focal/Partial seizures?
Are these spots on both temporal lobes?
Have you been diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy?
Why don't they remove the tumor?
Take care,
