First time he had seizures in 2008. It was around 0245 hrs. Everyone was asleep. So no one recognised what it was actually that happened. By the time I woke up, he was calm, eyes open but body wasn’t moving. After a few minutes he was normal.
Later, on getting the MRI scan, doctor confirmed it was tumor. Dad denied for surgery when doctor suggested for it. Doctor also said, that surgery has to be done, it’s only about time when it will be done.
Every 6 months MRI scan was done to see if the tumor size changes. In MRI scan of Nov 2013, tumor size was found to be increased. He underwent 7 hours long brain surgery (craniotomy) on 5 Dec 2013. Biopsy confirmed it was Grade II. Radiotherapy was given in Mar 2014.
I wasn’t aware that this disease can’t be cured. But it can be treated and then medication for lifetime till it again occurs or starts to grow. In that case, again similar treatment would be required i.e. surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
