----------------------------------------------------------- From: brookiecookie888 Message 35 in Discussion Hello, I'm sorry to hear that they found a 5mm pit tumor on you. So first of all, do you have any symptoms? Like hormonal or maybe things like headaches and vision loss? If you are ok, the best thing to do is to just watch it with the doctors every 6 months and if there is a strange amount of growth or you gain symptoms im sure they will want to intervene and start giving you treatment. I believe they will not let it grow past a macroadenoma (bigger than 1cm). Adenomas larger than that can invade the brain and make surgery more difficult and less effective. Anyways, thats great that you are feeling good. Some of us have smaller tumors and feel terrible. Let me know how your visits go, I have a pit tumor that is 5mm also, but my doctor said surgery may be possible. I hope that they will allow me to have surgery I have been having headaches, dizziness, imbalance, depression, mood swings, memory loss, nausea, and heart palpitations. Do you all think that surgery is an option for me or are they going to just make me live with it??? Tell me what you guys think!! If anyone is having or has had a similar experience let me know!!! Good luck and God Bless! ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
