andrea		January 21st, 2009 4:40 pm ET God Bless This Man! My brother had the very same kind of tumor. Seizures are not from being too tired or overstressed. As our doctor said "think of the brain as a wired circuit board, each seizure knocks out a part if the infrastruture never to be created". Seizures will take your mobility aware, your movement of legs, hands, sight, swallowing. In other words, each seizure removes part of the brains function. I wish the doctors would just tell the truth to those that know differently. This tumor is aggressive and it continues to grow roots and spreads, which continuing to black out part of the brain. I wish him well and a miracle.
