Next neurologist appointment - 11/07/07

This is after my three seizures in a row, and my second MRI scan. I'm a little worried because I don't know what he might find - i.e. what might have changed in my brain since the first one. In other words, had the multiple seizures affected the glioma at all?

Well, the good news was, no it hadn't. The glioma was still the same size. The other news, however, was that he felt now that I should consider having it removed (he had previously felt that it should not be touched). He had decided this after reading a recent article in "Neurology" - apparently the trade magazine, as it were, for brain people. So I've been referred to a neurosurgeon for his opinion and for me to discuss everything with him.
