----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: tumor-boy Message 2 in Discussion First, I'd find out if the doctors feel that the tumor can be controlled with meds alone. Most prolactin-secreting tumors can be, and provided that there are no other medical problems being caused by the tumor (i.e., loss of vision, etc.), I think meds are the preferred course of treatment. Good luck.

He has been so relieved to read the postings on this website. He too has felt the congintive & memory issues discussed here. He was relieve he isn't the only one and he isn't just crazy!! After reading this discussion site, we are definitely going to request a full horomone panel testing. It seems surgery is the main cure. We've read about Gamma Knife surgery & the fully endoscopic procedure but are having a hard time finding success rates & risk factors for each. Does anyone know of a study comparing the success rate of each? Or, if you have personally gone through one or the other, we'd love to hear how it turned out. If anyone has weblinks, etc...any info would be great. View other groups in this category.
