HI, I AM JUST SO SCARED. opps sorry about the caps. i want to find a doctor
that knows what he is doing. i live in vermont and have to travel 2 hours one
way to get to a pit doctor. i have no intenrion of just any doc cutting on me.
were you scared? did they go up your nose to remove the tumor? and if so, did
they pack your nose? i am scared that once they put me out for the operation,
i will never wake up and die on the table. i live alone and have no family. i
am so scared. cinny

Cinny,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I had surgery about 8 weeks ago for a
non-functioning 2 CM pit tumor. It had already invaded my bone. The surgeon
wasnt sure if they could get it all or not. After surgery and post another
MRI, I found out that while they got most of the soft tissue tumor, there was
still so much in the bone and now
tumor around the carotid artery that I still have to have radiation too. So,
I see the radiation doctor this week to determine what kind, etc. My tumor is
also very close to the optic nerve, so not sure which theyll
recommend.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Like Tina, I would also have to say that
the surgery and recovery wasnt nearly as bad as I feared. My biggest
complaint afterwards was a lot of fatigue and nose discomfort from the splints.
But the pain was very manageable.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Good
luck!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Ginger<o:p></o:p>
