- So my Endo wants me off cabergoline, because she feels my tumor is now stabilized at 0.4 cm. Her theory is since my prolactin levels are normal, according to my blood work, the cells in the tumor will no longer secrete prolactin. I thought if...
- Coming up on my yearly MRI, I have a gut feeling there will be no tumor shrinkage. So here's the skinny. One endo feels surgery may be the next route, while another feels is not worth the risk. Life is so wish-washy I'm thinking about having them...
- On my follow up MRI that was exactly what I was told. I truly believe that everytime some of these pituiary tumors grow, mine inparticular; a sudden on set of pituitary failure occurs because of hemorrhaging. This junk that some of these doctors...
- Alright just got an copy of my official MRI report and for the life of me why can't they just put somewhere in the report if the tumor is there or not? Saying stuff like: "again seen is a nodular focus along the inferior aspect of the sella which is...
- What it do fam,Big day tomorrow. MRI scheduled first thing in the morning so I should be getting my results back during my followup appointment that same day. Anyways life seems to be going in the right direction; meaning staying positive and making...
- Well fam I thought I was making progress. Symptoms came back and took me down a notch. Just had another case, even though mild, but another case none the least. Anxiety/panic attack, confusion, trouble swallowing/choking sensation in throat and the...
- Alright fam been on the cabby-cabs for 8-wks now, and just had my follow up appointment at Swedish Pituitary Center. Blood work came bk and prolactin plus testosterone are bk to normal. Figured... and ya'll can call me crazy, but I thought I should...

- What's up fam. Well it's my 4th wk on the cabby-cabs and I guess I'm feeling better or just adapting like in the past. One thing I can say for sure that my romantic appetite has increase like a mutha, just hope that's not the only thing it's fixing....
- Alright fam, first week down being on the meds (cabergoline); won't take my next pill till Monday. So far only had a little upset stomach the day after my first half of a pill. I don't think I'm feeling any side effects beyond that or is it still...
- Had my appointment down at the Swedish Pituitary Center in Seattle yesterday and they agree with the results I got from MultiCare about my 8mm microprolactinoma. Popped my first cabby-cab (cabergoline) last night and was wondering how to really...
- Does anybody with a 8mm secreting pituitary tumor like myself have pressure in their head and ringing in their ears? Also I think my Microprolactinoma has been affecting me mentally in some way shape or form for the last 18yrs. My medical/medication...
- I'm going for a second opinion at the Swedish Pituitary Center in Seattle WA. The real question is every since I was 17 I've been having bouts of panic/anxiety attacks and just not feeling right mentally for the last 17yrs. MRI/CT scan > 8mm...
- Well I haven't had an panic/anxiety attack in about 3 1/2 weeks now, but I still feel a little off. Ears been ringing going on a month, and next week I go and see what's up with this pituitary microadenoma thing. Enough about me, what's up with the...
- After my MRI and CT-scan, basically they think I may have Micro-Adenoma/tumor; I guess this something to do with the Pituitary Gland. Well as I stated before, at least I'm making some progress finally. Just imagine not even talking to the doctor for...
