I posted on the ask the health nurse site and she thought maybe this board might be able to answer some of my questions...

I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor today. It is really freaking me out. I have to have surgery(most likely) and I was wondering if anyone here had had this before. I would love someone to give me an idea of what to expect.

I had an MRI yesterday because I have been having severe migraines since September.

Thanks!

Hi 2locachicas,


I also haven't done research on pituitary issues but did a little search and found this:


Pituitary Adenoma:

Skull Base Institute - surgery:

As is the case with any possible surgery, you'll want to make sure you find a doctor with lots of experience in this area.
