Stressless

This post is not about me but about my 16 year old sister, although I am increbibly anxious!
About 9 weeks ago just after she finished her GCSEs she had a seizure of some form. Was taken into hospital and checked over but they discharged her as they said they couldn't find anything wrong.
Last Thursday, after feeling shaky and unwell she had another full seizure in the car on the way home from her first day of school. Again she was taken to hospital where again they couldn't find anything wrong with her apart from raised white blood cells. As this was the second seizure they have referred her to a fit clinic for a full assessment, which I imagine will include a scan of her brain.
My anxiety is about what is causing the seizures, obviously thinking the worst- a tumour! Apart from being confused for a few hours after she is absolutely fine now and in between. They seem to be isolated incidents.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Would there be other signs if it was a tumour? Could it be epilepsy? Or anything else? We are left feeling very scared and anxious about everything now!! Need reassurance whilst we wait for the follow up!
Thank you!
