----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: Davepitgrp Message 3 in Discussion I waited too long to have my surgery and it left me with partial blindness in my left eye from the tumor pressing on my optic nerve too long. A small price to pay in exchange for a lot of the horror stories I read on these posts. I was fortunate to find Dr. Shahinian and he got all the tumor out. I have had clean MRI's since 2005 and have not been on any drugs since then either. My life is back to normal and after reading all the posts I think it's a crime that some doc's out there are still using old techniques and leaving people crippled because they don't want to go back to school and learn to use the latest advances. I rarely post but I'd hate to see such a young person not be given the chance for a productive life. Do your research and find the right doc. For example, the first thing my endo said as I walked into her office after my surgery was I was going to be on drugs for the rest of my life. I said we'll see about that and I had to argue with her to give my pit gland a chance to recover, if there was a chance, and thank God it did start functuing again and I now have noraml blood tests and feel good. I no longer need her ( endo) in my life....In the beginning I went through 2 other surgeons and was scheduled for surgery but backed out both times until I felt right about my doc. There's hope, you just have to dig to find the right doc...I hope the best and will pray you are led in the right direction... ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
