Dear Dawn

Anthony's symptoms the first time were a slightly dull headache,
which was relieved by paracetamol and then he lost a bit of
dexterity in his right hand and then he became confused over a
matter of a weekend and got quite sleepy, falling asleep very easily
in the chair or even reading the newspaper.

The second time it reared its ugly head was last september when all
he had was problems with his memory, but again the changes were
quite dramatic over the course of about a week or so. Also the
second time he had had a CT scan a few weeks before as he felt his
right arm was weaker and this showed nothing so they managed somehow
to get an MRI and this showed probably tumour back where it had
transformed the first time.

It may be that the tegretol is causing your husband's problems but
if it is ok and the symptoms continue then I would want a scan Even
if the last one was stable.

Hope all works out well.

Where are you again?

Julie
