Hello all. I have only just got brave enough to write about this as much I have tried to block it out I was hit by a seizure today which made me decide it's time to talk. It started on oct 17 2012 when I suffered a grand mal seizure at the wheel of my car. The last thing I remember was my right arm forming a claw and feeling like it was being ripped off. I woke up about half an hour later surrounded by paramedics and family along with the truly lovely people who found me. By some miracle I didn't crash, just came to a stop. Initially we thought it was anxiety but a couple of weeks later I was knocked out by my horse bless him! Which brought on another fit. I am lucky to have bupa cover and was referred to Dr Pinto at Spire Hospital in Southampton who is a truly lovely man. He instantly recognised there was something seriously wrong due to the loss of finer motor functions in my right hand and referred me for an MRI there and then. I was scanned for 90 minutes before the news was broken to myself and my family that I have a tumour on my left frontal lobe. I was referred to Mr Paul Grundy who believes it is a grade 2/3 glioma. Unfortunately due to its location they are not sure it is operable but are going to take a biopsy and an attempt at resection during an awake crainiotomy. Does anyone have any experience of this type of surgery? Becky
