Grand-mal Seizure

Published on April 15, 2018 in Share Your Story

I had a Grand-mal seizure event at church on a Wednesday night in 2017. A head CT discovered a mass on my left frontal lobe. The MRI revealed a golf ball sized tumor. After an eight and half hour surgery a Meningioma was the type of tumor it was. The surgeon had to leave a part of the tumor in my brain that was tangled on a major vein. By God’s grace I am still here to share my story! Still going through the motions of loss of feeling and bad headaches, but I at least alive to talk about this experience!
