Hello my son is 14 and had his first seizure 31 days ago.he was told he has epilepsy, that was until yesterday when we learned that the cause of his seizure was a brain tumor.I am looking for support from any mothers who have been down this road.I am a mess, I know i need to be strong for my son.He will be having surgery to remove this.The doctors feel he will be seizure free after this. Also any teens out there that have been through this that could give me advise that would be awesome.My son is starting High School this year,He is into sports and most likley will need to take a season off to recover.Thanks so much and god bless you all....
