It caused visual and auditory hallucinations for him, but anti-seizure medicine seems to have it pretty much under control. His tumor growth is back, though, so it remains to be seen whether the seizures will stay controlled. Have you had seizures? Hyacinths Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT I believe seizure can happen any time, regardless of medications. Beware.Chris  chefnnails Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT My son has GBM and seizures for almost 5 years. He was never well controlled. After surgery for biopsy his seizures disappeared. We figured out that it must be the Decadron has been effective to control it. Although steroids have side effects, we are planning to keep him on . At least he gets some quality of life. A friend of mine, Cindy, has a similar situation. Child with GBM, severe seizures with airway restriction. She took the same approach and seizures are so far more controlled. Good luck,Shevy Shevy Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 4/14/2008 Hyacinths wrote:My father had seizures this past November, about 11 mos. after his first surgery.

YES!!!!!!!!!!That's how it all started. woztoo Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Seizures were my clincher in getting myself checked out.  As I look back, there were many, many other signs that at the time was always passed off to other things.  Sunflower13 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
