Left Parietal Lobe - surgery
Sat, 04/12/2008 - 12:22Hi,
I have parietal lobe epilepsy and have just found out yesterday that I got the green light for surgery.
I hav yet to meet the neurosurgon and discuss how successful it could be and the risks involvoed if I still want to go through with it.
The doctors were worried that it might affect my speech but turns out i am using my speech in another area of the brain, not near my scar which is all good news.
I was just wondering if anyone who has had parietal lobe surgery could let me know the outcome of going through with it, if it was worth it, any body parts affected after etc
I would appreciate this very much.
Thanks in advance,
quirky

the first thin i would look at is the record of success that your doctor and hospital have. most are amitures and success rate is along with mayo brothers. they tend to have more failures than anything else. check out Rush Presbyterian St. Lukes In chicago. They have never had a failure, have never leftt patients with a loss of a function and best of all , they will not leave you a bill that after insurance will bankrupt you. good luck.
