Hi there. My husband has been treated at Duke since July 07. In January they suggested he see a neuropsychologist. He said no. They also recommended he see a speech therapist and a physical therapist. No and No. :-) The only thing he did that they suggested was take a driving test! He had not driven since his diagnosis because I didn't think it was a good idea. So when he mentioned the no driving at his January appointment in the Brain Tumor Clinic, they offered up the driving test. He had not had a seizure in many months. Anyhow, the driving test was not a road test or a driving simulator but rather a cognitive test administered by the neuropsycholgist!! He passed. The neuropscych said cognitively he is fine to drive, however, he is still at high risk for a seizure.
So, to get back to your question, I think seeing a neuropsychologist is an excellent idea for brain tumor patients. They can identify the deficits and recommend corrective things that can be done to help.
Now if they could recommend how to handle a stubborn husband!
Best to you!
