We had London AGAIN today for Bethanys results
We where say in a room with the best and I cannot stress this enough , the best neurologist in the country and his team for over an hour today . It went along these lines
He had studied the last MRI scan and the one from last month and his findings where that there is a large tumour at the back which is also surrounded by a bunch of smaller ones and one of these at the back of the brain is causing the epileptic fits , I asked him how many there where in total all over and his finger repeatedly pointed at the screen saying here , here , here , here , here , here and so on , But this is the one we need to talk about . Its roughly the size of a 50 pence piece .
Basically what needs to happen is they neep to do an uptodate MRI which will be in the next 2-3 months - Go NHS
They will then need to do something they call mapping as the large tumour is also surrounded by some smaller ones and this will make sure which one it is , The mapping will mean her skull will cut open and sensors will be placed all over the place and they will also be able to trigger if needed a fit to help see which it is
Then she will be put back together and wait for the results
After its brain surgery to remove part of the brain
This is where it gets bad - The fits are affecting her left arm mainly and also her left side of her face and left leg due to the tumour crossing the nerves of that area or the nerve going around it . If its going around it its much better as I will explain below
deficits from main operation (only the arm as this is the one he thinks it is)
This is the best outcome
If the nerve that controls the left arm runs around the toumour , once its removed she will be weak in the areas its affected for the rest of her life as in very slow to use them , strenth wise and co-ordination wise
The is the worst
If the nerve runs through the toumour then its a very high possibility that once removed she will be completly paralyzed from her left shoulder down for the rest of her life
That is as much as i want to say at the moment as im feeling very sad at the moment after writting this
