I had my first big testing day on Monday and got my results today. But after 6 weeks of intense radiation and 2 brain surgeries I am 100% tumor/cell free with no neurological(seizures) side effects! I think we spent like 5 hours getting an eye exam, EEG and full MRI I got what we were hoping for. The only bad thing was my blind eye further deteriorated and has no hope at all for it to come back as the tissue is now completely dead. The good thing though is that my remaining eye SHOULDNT get any worse although it wont get any better so night vision, peripheral and depth perception are permanently shot but I can still drive(during the day):thumbsup Due to the recent discovery of the possible chem/radiation exposure they are now going to be adjusting the testing in the future and possibly test more often just to make sure.

Overall though, it was a good day and a great way to follow up an awesome weekend!:banana

Did doctors use any subdural grid or strip electrodes to monitor brain and seizure activity?

Thanks everyone! I was pretty stoked and it was weighing very heavy on me even though I believed I would be ok. Alot of complications took place within the last several months with only a small handful of people knowing about but today was a HUGE relief! Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. I am very thankful to God for my family & friends and thankful to my family and friends for being there the entire time.

The tech used 28 strip electrodes and monitored for over an hour after she drew out a measured grid. Is that what you are referring to?

Yep. Im really glad to hear things are going well for you.
Reason I asked was because it's not often I come across someone I kind of know having a neurosurgical product my dad invented being used in their brain. Even though they are used constantly, it's kind of cool to kind of know someone they are benefiting.

Cheers to you, man. :shades
