Has anyone after cancer diagnosis and treatments had issues with seizures? I've had 5 surgeries in the last year, a lot of anesthesia obviously. Double Mastectomy, DIEP Flap reconstruction, Washout surgery due to infection, Ovaries removed, and last phase of reconstruction. No radiation or chemo, but will be on hormone inhibitor drugs for 10 years. Terrible brain fog, blurry vision, headaches, bone aches, nausea, equilibrium off, etc etc... Now being told I'm having seizures????

Many cancer patients do experience neurological symptoms after treatment, and you're not alone in dealing with these challenging effects. The combination of multiple surgeries, anesthesia exposure, and hormone changes can impact the nervous system in various ways. It's important to work closely with your medical team to understand what might be causing these symptoms and explore appropriate treatment options. Have others in the community experienced similar neurological changes after their cancer treatment journey?

I have seizures but did prior to cancer. Get referral to neurologist and they will test to see if symptoms show seizure activity. You have had a lot of surgery and that alone can cause these symptoms.
