----------------------------------------------------------- From: CUSHIE2X Message 6 in Discussion Tina, I am so sorry to hear all that you are going through. It brings back painful memories too. I also had a microadenoma removed surgically - diagnosis of cushings and mild acromegaly. Later, I discovered from pathology reports that the tumor was actually producing excess amounts of prolactin as well! Anyway, had the tumor removed in Sept of 2001 and started developing the symptoms again a mere 6-8 months later. I kept telling the drs that I thought the cushings had come back. However, I had the opposite issue: my labs were normal. But the MRIs showed that I now had 2 tumors. All of the drs though told me not to worry because cushings almost never comes back. Here I am now slow getting the lab results required for another surgery. I completely understand your frustration. It is devastating when you believe that you are one of the lucky ones and have been cured. You need to allow yourself to cry and feel that devastation - you are entitled to it. Then you pick yourself up and start again. I've read your posts here and you are so helpful to others. Try to find some peace in knowing that you have helped many others through this painful journey. You can and will make it through this! Also, I don't know if you're interested but there is an amazing dr and researcher in the UK! He's testing out the use of RNA to turn off pituitary tumors. His name is John Newell-Price and some info can be found at: http://www.shef.ac.uk/medicine/staff/newellprice.html. Also he has an article on his study at: http://www.endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0013/ea0013p248.htm I truly wish you the best.
