New Message on Pituitary Chat Non-functioning tumor Reply   Reply to Sender   Recommend Message 36 in Discussion From: Dee Hi Kitten, Yes, I am still here. I know it is frightening to deal with these issues, but you have one thing in your favor right now. Your tumor is very small. Mine was 2 cm. and was causing more problems due to the size. My suggestion to you is this- first and foremost, find yourself an experienced neurosurgeon and endocrinologist in pituitary problems. That is so important. Since your tumor is small, you have better choices. Do you know if it is non-functioning or secreting? That also makes a difference as to the treatment for it. If your surgeon decides to remove the tumor, the smaller the tumor the better the chance of removal of the whole thing. Mine was not able to be totally removed so I still experience problems. >From what I have seen from other posts, you should feel better if the whole tumor is removed, not worse. Decision making is not easy, but for your sake, educate yourself as much as possible and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you are not comfortable with a doctor, change. I did and it was the best thing I did. Please do not hesitate to ask me anything you might want to know and please keep me posted. Regards, Diane View other groups in this category.
