It can be scary and overwhelming when you hear you have a TUMOR! I would ensure I was lined up with an endocrinologist who treats tumors, not one who specializes in diabetes. I would get a good neurosurgeon if surgery was going to be recommended. I would recommend taking a deep breath, relax and do some research on line. A good place to start is Pituitary.org. Learn everything you can. Ask lots of questions and don't be afraid to question your doctor or ask for a second opinion if you don't agree. Doctors are not gods, and not all have answers. Know yourself as you are your own best advocate.

Ask questions...all the time. Educate yourself about the pituitary gland. It's extremely complex. Learn what hormone controls what. Ask your doctor where to find the most I'm formative site. Most importantly, listen to your body!
