Question
I was diagnose on 2007 with two low grade tumors on my right temporal lobe of the brain measuring 10mm both called GLIOMA?GANGLIGLIOMAS.Ever since I being taking Keppra 750mg twice daily and Lamictol 25mg for my seizures. The neurosurgeon notify DMV and my driver lic was suspended.I am tired of being most of the time out of rage,I get irritated easily,I can't concentrate when I really want to do something,I keep forgetting things,suffer from memory loss,and I'm having trouble hearing with my left ear,all the sound that my left ear receives sounds like a broken speaker and don't know what to do!I don't want to be the rest of my life under this medications,what should I do!!!! and also can I die from this two brain tumors!!!!!!
Exactly what kind of tumors were they and how much "low grade" meaning what grade precisely? If you do have the pathology report from your surgery - if any surgery has been done - and also any CT and MRI reports available please let me read them?! You can copy them here. However many parts of your question are best answered by a neurologist (I'm a medical oncologist & radiation therapist with experience of treating brain tumors) and should therefore be directed to such an expert here.

| Comment | Thank you very much for your prompt response. You told me everything that I needed to know. First of all my doctors always keep saying the same story over and over that apparently I suffer from "Partial Complex Seizures"and that they rather monitor my tumors because they're not that big to be concerned about. As long as they dont continue growing its better to continue taking my medication to control my seizures.Also about rating my two tumors they're never specific in telling me about grading them. They basically said that they are low grade and thats it. I am currently waiting for my MRI results to know exactly what the measurments are of the tumors. Once i recieve them i will be sure to send them to you asap. Thank you very much for your attention. | ||
