Seizures between radiotherapy

Akanksha

My aunt had been diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago. She had been undergoing chemotherapy but the cancer continued to spread.

In her last stage with the doctor expecting just one and a half month with chemotherapy,she has been advised radiotherapy which was to enable her for one more year.Her radiotherapy started 2 days ago but unfortunately, she is having seizures every evening, even today morning. She is reporting weakness and numbness everyday.

What do the symptoms indicate and how should i help her out during her seizures?

I do not know the answers to most of your questions but I have a mild form of epilepsy, have never had seizures since I started medication but had 5 in the first day after my first chemo. The culprit was one of the pre-medications. Is your aunt on any medication? Does she have epilepsy? Does the Dr. at rads know about the seizures? Does she have a neurologist? Here's a link for what to do during seizures

I have a few seconds warning and will do whatever it takes to get flat so I don't fall and crack my head open ( again!).

Hope something here helps somehow.
