Woman seizure-free after groundbreaking brain surgery

sundayworld.com

Katie Cooke, 27, experienced up to 30 epileptic seizures daily until undergoing brain surgery at Beaumont Hospital. After the operation, she has not had a seizure for four months, marking a significant change in her life. Previously diagnosed with epilepsy at age nine, Katie's condition worsened during her teenage years, leading to severe seizures and frequent hospital visits. Her mother and fiancé supported her through the challenges, but her health deteriorated, prompting the need for surgery. The surgery involved monitoring her brain to identify seizure triggers and removing problematic tissue. Since the procedure, Katie reports a dramatic improvement in her quality of life and is now looking forward to new opportunities, including her recent engagement.
