Pituitary Tumors Community Group
For those who have not been diagnosed with a specific type of Pituitary Tumor. There are many variations. All are welcome.
Hi!
I got diagnosed with a pituitary tumor (3mm) 2 years ago. About two weeks ago I started with constant headaches, more extreme fatigue than usual, visual blurring, cognative disturbances ect.. I got an MRI and it has now grown to 7.2 x 8.4mm. The endocrinologist I just saw seems to think there's no connection between these symptoms and my tumor because it's still considered a microadenoma.
Did anyone else have such a frustrating experience? Anyone have a good doctor that actually considered that their "small tumor" could be causing their symptoms? If so please let me know who you see. I'm in Harrisburg, PA so the closer the better :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
My tumor is 6 mm with hemorrhages. My neuro is wonderful. However, he still feels like the tumor is not connected with my symptoms. He's going to continue to do MRI's and check to see if it grows or if I have more hemorrhages. If this happens, I will be having it removed. I'm in Central NY.
I am sorry you are dealing with this, but can tell you for sure those little monsters can cause big problems. I am having mine removed next week, because it is secreting growth hormone and ACTH. The MRI says 2 mm.!
