Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 Hi Bridget My daughter had a pituitary tumer removed surgically about 5 years ago. She has done very well since the surgery. She was unable to tolerate the medications that she was on for it so chose to go that route. I don't know a lot about it - she wanted to be 'private' and was newly married. But I do know for her surgery was a wonderful answer to a very difficult problem for her. She was told there was a strong probability that the tumor would come back but so far it hasn't. She has bloodwork done annually now and has a cat scan every 2 years. Kate " Knockaround Girl " wrote: scratch that...
