No EEGs

I was diagnosed with Ep after having a brain tumor found and removed and as such I have MRI's every year to track stuff and what not- but what has started to bug as of late is why perhaps my Doctor never orders any EEG's- wouldn't that tell him what's going on? So my question to all you non tumor people or otherwise is how often to you have EEG's and do you know why they do them? Trust me I don't need them to poke me any more than they do but shouldn't they be tracking this stuff- esp since I just had a temporal lobectomy? hehe as in maybe they should check and see if anything is still going on in there? Thanks! Amanda
