Gliosis brain tumor
My sister who is 49 has just been diagnosed with this type of brain tumor, I am confused by what I am reading on the internet regarding it. They say is is a -stage one, her current (and initial team) of Dr's who did a biopsy say it is best to leave it alone for now, they will do more test in 6 months to look at it again. They are talking about seizures, she has not regained her eye/hand coordination since the biopsy, she has balance issues and sight issues, bright lights of any kind distrube her. She seems confused at times, and has trouble putting her words together after a 10-15 minute conversation on the phone. She was initial admitted to the hospital because they thought she was having TIA's which they originally diagnosed her as having. What should she be doing at this point? Thank you.
It is located just behind her right ear area kind of behind her ear and down a bit, I don't know if they determined why, that actualy is one of my other sisters questions, because she read this type of tumor could be caused by a TIA? Is that correct?
There is more information on this site - http://www.medhelp.org/tags/show/13551/gliosis
which may or may not help.
Where is the gliosis located?
Did they determine why - if there was an underlying cause? Was it the TIAs?
