----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: pat-e-cake2 Message 19 in Discussion I underwent the Novalis radiation in December at UCLA. I had surgery four years ago to remove an 11mm pituitary tumor. It grew back--to 15 mm in only four years. Because of its persistence, I decided to undergo the Novalis fractionated radiation. I moved to LA for six weeks and went for a half hour dose each day. Besides fatigue, I felt no other side effects. The treatments, although scary at first, soon because routine. After completing treatment, the doctors gave me a 97% chance--or better--that the tumor would be gone for good. I lost no other pituitary functions and my eyesight is restored. This radiation--small, accurate doses over a period of time--is nothing short of miraculous! Every day I am grateful that my neurosurgeon suggested this over medication (which I could not tolerate) or surgery, which was very hard on me! Novalis radiation is truly a gift! ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
