Is Temporal Lobe Due To Tumor Presence?

I have a friend who has GBM left temporal lobe and had a grand mal seizure 1 1/2 weeks ago and has still not woken from it, they took him off his chemo(Zactima) and have him on Dilatin and Keppra still. What is wrong they said his tumor is still stable? His age is 66, 5 8 170

Dear
you should understand that brain tumor can provoke seizures even if they are stable during therapy
Keppra is a good choice so I think your friend will be fine again
