Bob- I've been concentrating on pushing for the cure, on taking medications carefully, and on my support system. I try to maintain a positive attitude, keep to a good diet and exercise, and I pray for strength each morning. I will only have surgery as a LAST resort. Surgery can cause loss of speech, loss of memory, loss of vision or a part of the visual field or even worse. Glad your neuro thinks that the new medication schedule is OK.
