Pituitary tumour?

[AnyDream]

Does anyone have any experience with a pituitary tumour?

What happened? Did you have surgery?

...=( i just lost my post

wtf, I pressed post and its gone!!

*sigh*

ok, what i was saying is a friend of mine has high levels of ..something (sorry i cant remember exactly what it is) but one of the causes is a pituitary tumour. As far as I know currently they are rulling out every other cause, and if nothing else works then they will discuss investigating the pituitary.

(not as detailed as my original post...)

Sorry if that doesn't help much, but if it does go down that road for her, I could ask her more about it and have some more information.

My poppy had a pituitary tumour. I was young at the time so cannot recall heaps, but he had to have it removed. They removed it by going up through the nose. He was pretty uncomfortable afterwards, and had to see a doctor to make sure it didn't come back. Not a lot of info, sorry.

My uncle's girlfriend and boss's son both have one, the same kind (name escapes me?) They haven't been removed, just managed.

one of my best friends had one and she had treatment, but it wasn't removed surgically as far as i'm aware.

My dad was just diagnosed with one last week. He's unsure whether he has to have surgery or not at this stage.

Thanks for replies. When it was diagnosed, were they referred to a neurosurgeon or an endocrinologist in the first instance?
