----------------------------------------------------------- From: greendharma Message 2 in Discussion Bone growth is permanent. Soft tissue growth recedes. This includes hands, feet, face etc. The good news is the heart ( including cardiomegaly and Left ventricular hypertrophy) can return to normal if IGF is controlled. I am proof of that, but I was on the edge of permanent damage apparently. Sandostation is started at a low dose and gradually increased. No one should talk surgery as long as there is room for you to increase dose without experiencing side effects. And not for nothing- you can still have surgical resection and not have controlled levels (everyone here raise your hand who is medically managed post surgery..mines up) so if surgery is not the way you want to go then don't, but definitely get those levels under control. Even if you don't care about larger extremities, the heart is another issue altogether. And make sure that little bugger isn't starting to grow where surgery will eventually never be an option. best m ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
