New Message on Pituitary Chat Anyone Have a Recurring Tumor Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 6 in Discussion From: doIglow Hi Judy, Hang in there sweetie you can do it. I have had a reacuring tumor. In fact I am recovering right now from my second surgery. It was Nov 1 2004. My 1st was Sept of 2000. First surgery was transphanodial second was a craniotomy and I will be doing radiation sometime in the future. I too had a rough recovery the first time  had ID and was on DDAVP for almost a year.It finally leveled out and I stopped the medication. I don't want to be negative just honest, the second has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. Not that it was all that painful, it really wasn't. But I was in the hospital for 2 weeks I ran into a few complications. That was very hard being away from my family (my kids) then when I came home I was totally dependent on others for several weeks. It was very humbling. But most of all it was emotionally hard. Something that I was not prepared for and I can't really explain. You just know it when it happens. I have lost most of the vision in my right eye due to the second tumor and am now told I will soon go blind in that eye. That really scares me. And my eye and eye brow droops because I had a stroke in that eye a month after surgery. And I am terrified of radiation.....BUT I am alive and so are you!!!! We ccan get thru this ...one day at a time.Knowing that there are others here  for you really can help! Lean on me! And the others here! Hope all is going well for you. View other groups in this category.
