Hi,
Sorry to hear of your disease. Yes, medulloblastos itself and the radiation can cause seizures and we need to use medicine to control seizures. I understand that medicine may cause many side effects however they are necessary to be used.
There are many medicine that are used to control seizures if you have bad experience with one can always ask your doctor changing that. Hopefully some would be quite good for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
