ALl the classic symptoms of brain cancer were present in the patient, yet they still didn’t diagnose him properly till many years later. Doctors can also take too much for granted. I have known people with overlooked diagnosis.

The doctors may have taken a quick look at Ben, the patient, and seen what appeared to be a healthy young adult male.
But the fact that he was experiencing pain and multiple seizures daily should have been a clue that something was dreadfully wrong. I don’t think this fellow has many years left as a fully functioning individual. There is always a chance that some therapy will be found to stop the growth of this tumor. I wish him well. The 6K GoFundMe will not go very far, but something beats having nothing in savings.

Years? I guess you missed this part:

” Ben decided to seek medical help this year after he started having up to 30 seizures a day.”
