Expect a neurologist visit later.
A field guide for men who are supporting their wife or significant other in becoming free of cancer. Especially when they are hit by a stroke in mid-treatment. I outline the process and experiences, and offer tips and hints for others. My dear wife, Meagan, died from Stage 4 melanoma cancer.

Another round of continuous EEG
She is getting set up for another round of continuous EEG monitoring which usually means overnight. Goal is to assess brain wave patterns and any sub-clinical seizures. I suspect they are doing this to evaluate existing anti-seizure medication efficacy as well as trying to figure out the right brain activity if there is no discernible tumor. It's a messy process involving gluing electrodes all over her head with stuff that stinks of pure alcohol, them wrapping her head in gauze and putting a gauze sleeve over the 30 something wires running from the electrodes to the computer.
