Brain Surgery

I had Brain Surgery about 3 years ago on my right temporal lobe. I had a small scared piece of brain tissue that was removed. The surgery was successful and I didn't have any side effects.I was seizure free for 2 years. I recently started having break through seizures within the past 6 months. The seizures are the same and a lot milder but it does concern me. If anyone else has experienced this and could give me insight I would greatly appreciate it. I'm afraid that my seizures have come back.

Here's more detail for those of you who might have just glanced at this topic. Prior to having surgery I had seizures for 12 years. I was 24 when I had brain surgery. 3 years prior to surgery I under went extensive testing so the doctors could locate the area where the seizures were coming from. Through out the 12 years I was on every seizure medication on the market. The medicine was not really controlling them. I had petite mal seizures which typically lasted 10-15 seconds. On a bad month I could have up to 10 and on a good month it was probably half of that. If anyone has gone through this or has questions please feel free to ask.
