----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: liltrubin Message 11 in Discussion Thank you, I am very pleased that you decided to post. This thread has been emotional at times-:) Every time I would talk to Mayo I walked away not felling good about it. There were so many unanswered questions as to why they would not answer my questions? It just is not worth it to me. I live 15 minutes away which would be perfect!!! I love Dr. White, he is awesome at what he does but as you know he is very conservative and that is okay. I am focused on quality of life and his focus is elsewhere. He feels he cannot go in and take the tumor without damaging the gland and I would not want him to try if he feels that way. Dr. Shahinian on the other hand feels he really can help and get the tumor without damaging the gland. This was not the answer I expected to hear. I am so used to hearing no I just expected it. I agreed to consult him because my husband wanted me to. I also made him agree that if the Doc said no that would be it. I did not want to go any further because it was to emotionally draining. I just could not do it. Every time I talk to them I walk away feeling good, more relaxed and that is a challenge for me-:) I am really convinced that I am doing the best thing for me. I did schedule my appointment for Aug. 27, we will be leaving on the 23 for CA. I feel good about it! The money will come. I truly believe that. I know in my heart every time things looked bleak I always pulled it out from somewhere. I would feel better knowing where...LOL! We have gone through very blessed periods monetary wise and very dry periods, they come and go and with me not working it is harder but I help my husband in his business which in the long run just benefits both of us. Thank you for confirming my feeling on Mayo out here. I just really did not feel good talking to them and I know people who have had the best experience there and swear by them. Then again they had things like Gull stones! Regardless, this is a hard decision and I feel good about it. Your post means a lot to me. I really needed to hear what you had to say.
