I'm Currently Feeling:  | Prolactinoma - I have a brain tumour
Some will know that i have been having tests for infertility, I recently had a review and the test came back today, with quite an unexpected and worrying result.
I have a Prolactinoma which is basically a brain tumour, I am now awaiting an emergency referal to a Endocrinologist to deterimine treatment. Thank fully it is not malignant and is treatable and will not spread, but it poses a risk to my eye sight, causes extreme headeaches and causes infertility.
I will have a MRI scan at some point, and then treatment will be decided. Hopefully just with drugs or at worst radiotherapy or potentially Sugery to remove it.
I know this will be as much of a shock to you as it was this morning to me and Tom. So at least have a reason why i am not 'catching' although could have done with out the brain tumour result. Not sure how i am feeling... numb, calm, shit scared  am having a hellish year so far! | | | | Status: Offline
