Re: AVM Project Please Help!
I would pretty much agree with the above post. Self care deficits, dysphagia, some expressive aphasia. My Dad started having seizures and horrible headaches in the 70's. At that point the AVM was inoperable. He was in his 30's at that point. Over the years his vision declined to the point of tunnel vision. For 40 years the AVM loomed. Two years ago they suggested Gamma-Knife, but were unable to perform. He had mass effect and steriods were initiated without success. It was absolutley terrible for my Dad in the end. I visit on a Friday and he's eating gumdrops and talking about the newest book he had just finished. Two days later, he cannot walk, generalized weakness, unable to swallow or care for himself, his brain had a mass effect and 7 weeks later he passed.
AVM Project Please Help!
Thanks,
