Maybe just maybe one day they will have a cure for all the awful diseases of cancer😢. It's a silent killer that kills so many ppl. Just when you fight n beat another form of cancer. Another comes to rob n steal you of blessing n life.

In January of 2023 Drs found, by chance, a massive meningioma pressing on my frontal lobe. I was life flighted to Shands Neurological Hospital, died twice in the helicopter, for emergency brain surgery. They couldn't get all of it.

I have had a brain tumor on my pituitary gland. I had a cystic component in front of my head. They put a ommaya reservoir to drain off the fluid. I had surgeries in 1989-1990 respectively. My brain tumor cystic component is growing again after 30+ years. I hope i get surgery through the nose, if they ever have to do surgery again. I had the gamma knife to stop the tumor in 1990. Luckily, i was 24 years-old, when I had my brain tumor and I didn't have gianticism.

You included a lot of the basic information but you also left out a lot of information. Not everyone goes for extended radiation therapy. Sometimes only one treatment is required. And the brain tumor that's being treated is not the kind that metastasizes. Sometimes the tumor being treated is benign. I have an acoustic neuroma. It only required one radiation treatment. It was a large dose administered all at once. That is the only way to treat an acoustic neuroma. I was hoping that this video would mention side effects but it didn't even get that far. It's very frustrating when your doctor is very vague about side effects. So you don't know whether or not you are healing in a proper manner because everyone's healing process is unique to them. So that makes it harder to know if what you are experiencing is what you should be experiencing. I had my radiation treatment a month ago and I'm still having side effects. And I don't even know if that's normal. Or even if there is a normal in this type of situation. Nobody can give me a straight answer. And it's also going to take a long time to find out if the radiation treatment actually worked. Not until after I have two MRIs that can be compared to each other and that can take the better part of another year. In the meantime I don't have any idea whether or not the tumor is still growing or if it's totally shut down. and there's no way to measure that. I feel totally helpless in this situation.

I had stereotactic radiosurgery for a benign brain tumor but I didn't have any of these types that were shone. I had to have the mask made which held my head in place. The machine moved around me after it was programmed by the doctor and the physicist. So I'm not sure what the type of radiation was called or what kind of machine it was. But the machine was able to do a cat-scan first and then to do the radiation. Whatever part was giving the radiation moved around me and it delivered it in two different times and that took about a total of 5 minutes and that was the only treatment I received. I think it may have been called a photon beam but I'm not sure. It's only been about a week and I'm still having really bad side effects. I haven't even been able to return back to work and I see the oncologist in another week for check-up. And to find out if I'm healing properly. I haven't felt well since the first day. I wasn't even able to take the steroid drugs that were offered to me because I had a bad side effect from those so I had to stop.

I take Bromocriptine for mine, as I couldn't afford Cabergoline. And wow...this tumour difficult to deal with sometimes, hormone wise... I have the rare case of producing testosterone as well. As my Endocrinologist would always check my face and chest for hair growth...fun wow! I am female. I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma...Pituitary micro adenoma. I also have low blood pressure and can find myself in a bit of a pickle with fainting/passing out. Some of my symptoms prior to diagnosis were: Hyperhydrosis/excessive sweating, super intense headaches, peripheral vision loss, breast milk production (long after being pregnant), weight gain from pregnancy (hypothyroidism) and the opposite Hyperthyroidism (weight loss)...been super skinny most of my life...until I became pregnant...then my prolactin levels went through the roof as well... When I first went on Bromocriptine, my weight went back to normal. Now that I am getting older, everything is changing yet again. 🙄🙄🙄 I was told if I did the surgery, through the nasal cavity (left), that the chances of it regrowing were extremely common and that it would. My next option was to have the entire pituitary removed and take synthetic hormones. Anyone with advice or natural supplements to cope with adverse affects would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kelly from Ontario Canada

I’ve been having severe headaches (migraines?) so they did an MRI. I have one of these buggers, a parafalcine meningioma on the right falx of my brain. I’m having 4-6 severe headaches a week. They’re just too much. The tumor is still small. I do have a history of Neuroendocrine Cancer that originated in my right mainstem bronchus. I’m still waiting to see if the Neurosurgeon is even going to see me. I’m a Medicaid person. 🙄 Sadly I became disabled from all the operations I had to have on my lung, chest wall, and airway. I’m 54. Quite frustrated at the moment, because I feel like the docs just don’t give a 💩. Sorry, just being honest. I feel like if I had traditional insurance I already would have had my consult. I was prescribed Imitrex for the headaches, but that crap was hurting my kidneys. So, at the moment I’m just stuck. You probably won’t see my comment, but your videos have explained so much to me, and I’m so thankful and appreciate you taking the time to do this. God Bless. Sam from Utah. 😊

I had a pituitary tumor, a spindell cell oncocytoma, but they didn't perform this procedure for removal. For me, the surgeons went in through my skull. I truly wonder why. Maybe it was due to the tumor type. It's been 4 years now and I still have some issues related to the surgery. I still have a "soft spot" and a big scar where they peeled my scalp back to get to my skull. I was off work for 18 months, mostly because my memory was terribly affected in a bad way. I also became diabetic after the surgery.

Hi, You also need to test your prolactin levels. It affects the testosterone levels. I had a MRI about 3 years ago with contrast and it had picked up a tumor which explained my elevated prolactin levels and might be the cause of my low testosterone levels. The medication didn't work because the side effects were horrible. They also don't want to operate because it's only 5mm in diameter. Probably bigger my now. The thing is never mind the size the effects its causing is terrible. Hope you get sorted

I think neurosurgeons tend to not have the best layman verbiage. From my reading they say that post 7th decade anesthesia alone can be the end of an older person, and that I've seen. They also have a much more difficult time with recovery and rehabilitation. That said I believe he meant the risks would be paramount and not outweigh the benefit. I don't think he was saying older people themselves are not worth it.

Hello Stanford, I have had a pituitary tumor since diagnosed in Rutland Vermont on May 12, 2003. The PC and also Dartmouth neurosurgeons said it was too risky to do transphenoidal and that I would have serious problems. Since living in Burlington Vermont, any time I have complained about the tumor, which is now a macroadenoma, since 2008, noone will do even anything at all here at UVM medical center in Burlington. They have told me not to worry about it, be lucky it has not killed me, or BS that pills will boost sugar levels. I appealed to neurosurgery directly and they had patient advocates call me. Nowhere. THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. I have all types of symptoms in which they said is a mental problem. Lots know here but noone cares or not their problem in Vermont.
