There’s always hope

In December of 2017 I had my first and only seizure. I was diagnosed with a brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation). I saw two wonderful doctors in Spokane, and both refused to operate because my AVM was in a bad spot, too dangerous.

I contacted Dr. Laligam Sekhar in Seattle at Harborview Medical Center and he said my AVM was operable, a 2 out of 5. It has been almost three months since my surgery and I am fine. I just want people to know that when you think there is no hope, there is. Dr. Sekhar and his staff, Christine and Audrey and all the others are amazing and will tell it like it is.

This is nothing bad about the doctors in Spokane. They just don’t deal with these kind of things on a daily basis like Harborview. Dr. Sekhar not only does Brain AVM, but brain tumors and anuerisms. So, if this should happen to you or your family contact his office and God bless!
