If you do searches, white spots on MRIs are MS like, show up after epilepsy seizures etc.
An oncologist is a doctor that treats cancer. So if your doctor thought your husband had cancer, he would send him to an oncologist who is a specialist in cancer.
I would ask the doctor what are the white spots. What can you do that will help your husband to keep him healthier. There are diets that may help.
What kind of questions exactly should we ask,this is overwhelming. what makes you think the white spots are not cancer ?Im so worried about my husbend and my 8 year old daughter is worried about daddy,The doctor never said anything about oncologist,what is that?
I do not think the white spots are cancer. Hopefully the Doc would have referred you to an oncologist right away.
The petit-mal seizures are the small ones. The ones that seem to be the problem are the tonic-clonic ones as people with those types have a higher incidence of dying suddenly.
So the answer is due to having the seizures as far as I can find but I would ask the doctor more specific questions about with white spots.
