----------------------------------------------------------- From: Diana62 Message 4 in Discussion Hi Tricia, Sorry that I couldn't respond sooner. I had heart symptoms on Fri, went to ER and they held me for an angiogram yesterday. All is well, but my symptoms and different EKG alarmed them. Because of that, I could not go to my pituitary support group in Santa Monica tonight and I am really bummed about that. Dr. Cohan, the endo, was speaking and he is so informative. If you are in the LA area in Sept, the next meeting is on the 16th. We would love to have you. I do want to give you some information to check in case you don't know about these sites. Go to sharmynmcgraw.com (www in front). Click on Hormones 411. Go down to NETC Pituitary Support Group and click. Scroll down to the list of meetings and also down to the bottom to two videos, one about surgery and one about hormones. She has lots of info all over the site too. The other good site is pituitary.org (www in front). You don't have to join but I did and received "The Pituitary Patient Resource Guide" that has everything you every wanted to know about pituitaries. It lists the Drs they recommend all over the country, Drs. Marshall Block, Daniel Duick, and Elena Plummer, Endos in Phoenix and Dr. William White, Neurosurgeon also in Phoenix. This might be a good help. Again, from what I was told, and your situation is similar to mine, that it was not a prolactinoma but a large non secreting and should come out and that many Drs think they are because the prolactin is raised a little. The more you get informed and learn the better you will be able to pick a good Dr. My GP told me that the more informed I was the higher it sets the bar for the Drs. When I saw the Kaiser endo and surgeon I had a stack of papers and had been to the support group and they did take notice. Sort of "the squeeky wheel gets the grease". Good luck and I hope this helps a lot.
