I had the same problem. My tumor was 5 centimetres the size of a golf ball. And it was soft as well.

Been using mine for 1 week and can tell a difference already... i agree about the smell of it and the fact it spreads well :)

I had the same surgery you did back on easter Sunday 2009 I was having very bad headache for awhile and er thought I wanted medicine was like no finally after three children didn't make milk with none and all i finally got a er doctor to listen to me and came back I had a pituitary tumor i had so many specialist visits in hospital before they decided surgery day and I had to stay in hospital for a month before surgery and another month after went home sic weeks light duty but couldn't listen and doing awesome now

Did you undergo Radiotherapy after the surgery

Does the surgery or hyperthyroidism affec you period cycle,???

Mind was a 6 hours

Did you need a stint placed in your nose after your surgery?

Is this a Rathke Cleft?

Thanks for sharing your story. Guess what? That was my story last year, pituitary tumor. The Tumor pushed the right optic nerve to the corner and compressed my pituitary gland without reason. I didn't ask for it. All hormones got messed up. I was tired, 😢My right eye was messed up. My neurosurgeon said the only viable option out there was surgery. Her claim was backup by the MRI and scanner. I was devastated and scared. My son was just 16. I worried for him if something happened to me, he might end of being orphan. Luckily, Jacobi Hospital, in the Bronx, New York, got my back, they stood by me, and did a great job. My brain surgeon and team of ENT and endocrinologist were amazing 👏. My brain surgery was done by the nose (endoscopy). They beat the crap out of my tumors, smack him to the ground. I spent only two days at the hospital then discharged. All my hormones recovered from weird 😢 numbers to normal. After 7 months, my hormones level are still normal. Believe it or not, I got my young age energy strength back. I am dead serious. I am feeling great. My right oeil is back to normal, no more double vision, no more tiredness, blurred vision, etc... Anybody on the fence, try it and be strong 💪. It's worked for me it's might work for you too.

Thanks for sharing your story. I just had my surgery 3 wks ago and it was very scary. I wish I had seen this before. My recovery has been a little difficult because I think I returned to work too soon. I'm really interested in how you are doing now, and if there is anything you could recommend I should do to feel better sooner. Take care.

I have the same thing I have lived with my for 2 years. I have lost some vision. I have been diagnosed with Addisons disease due to thus tumor. I saw a surgeon 2 years ago they would not touch it. Now it has grown very large and has grown into my eye nerves. I am seeing the surgeon again soon to see if they can remove it.

hope you are okey pretty girl

I am 65 and found out through Ophthapamology clinic because for I kept complaining and they kept checking so one of eye Dr's said I'm sending you for MRI and I went and thats when they saw the tumor. I got appt with Neurologist and was set for surgery and yes very scary, a lot of praying but just had first ENT appt and next with Neurologist to go over what happen. In get well mode, appts to get too. Great Drs Care Team and Nursing Staff at Ochsner Health in Shreveport, LA.🙏

I just tried the short tube MRI and the open one. I'm so claustrophobic I couldn't do either one- had panic attack. I heard about the upright one and hope that will work. I, too, have to use the helmet/ face guard. Hope I will be able to breathe in that one. Terry

I was diagnosed with a pituitary cyst which it was too small and but I didn’t have any symptoms other than light headaches. But now that it’s almost a year from that I’m starting to have hormonal problems. I think that cyst had grown and now it’s affecting me so now I’ll go back to my doctor for treatment. Before it grows more and get more complicated 🥺 but still I’m feeling scared

What is the total dosage of Omnitrope you were given ?

Hi im glad i came across ur video. Im going through the same as thing as u. I really hate Mri. Ive tried being in one but it lasted less than a minute cos i cant handle being in the tunnel. I felt like im being trapped and i cant breathe. The doc told me i really need to go again and i can take sedation. May i ask what do u actually feel after getting sedated. Do you feel unconscious?

Thank you for sharing your recovery .. feel so good after watching your videos . its been 3 months since I had a pituitary tumor surgery & i am recovering well, feel a little lethargic from time to time .. Yoga & eating right is helping .. Thank you for ur sharing .. Your an Inspiration!

Hello dear, Thanku for sharing your story, I am a astrologer and counselor,I try to help my clients to know the exact cause of their health issue.Taking your example I will try to dig the planets behind that.can you share your birth details with me plz .if you don't mind., 🙏

May I know your hometwn Bettie?

My brother has a tumor in his pituitary gland. They are going through his nose. Im so worried about him!

Thanks so much for sharing your medical issue 🙏

I was recently diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia after doing a fertility panel. It was 52 or 1100. They didn't see a tumor on my MRI so if it was there it was very very small. I am on cabergoline right now and hoping it works - I've noticed some improvements and only just took one pill as I am in my first week (take twice a week) but am waiting for my menstrual cycle to return which I missed for the first time in 16 years last month. I am 29. I am hoping the missed period is from this prolactin and nothing else. It's really stressful

I just had an MRI tonight to check for this! Thanks for making this video :)

Hi were the images sufficient in the end? I’m having one next week for my brain and I’m scared about them still making me go into a tunnel due to the pictures not being good. Were yours good for the doctor?

Thanks for sharing your story! I also have it! Can i ask you a question. Did you experience hair loss?

How do u feel now??

I hope you are able to conceive now!

I have a tumor in my pituitary 4.0 mm.. I see Neurosurgent on Monday 5/20 and idk if I will need surgery or not but I’m very much scared and nervous

Can you give your tumour update now?

@72chargerse72 I have one too Im a 63 yo male.. It has been a problem for about 15 years but my previous doc was incompetent . My prolactine is 83 ish and they put me on Bromocriptine.The treatment makes me nautilus (sucks) and I have a compulsive action too. . It also crushed my testosterone (which left me too weak to do anything but sleep18 hrs a day) sweating. vision issues, ED, headaches and dizziness, trouble concentrating. Lazy docs are a bitch.. right. I get it. My diabetic doc said "I DONT CARE ABOUT THAT" She is gone too. If that little voice says something is WRONG find a new doc. Your life depends on it.

Its not just girls that this effects... I will post later

Im supposed to be having this surgery soon and i am very worried about going blind afterwards.

Agree 100 %. I freaked out on closed MRI after the nurse started to walk out. I took the Open MRI yesterday and it was so peaceful. Could not believe it. The Ativan really helped but it takes 3 days to get out of your system. I had a mask and a blanket and was so comfortable. It took 30 minutes and I felt great.

Hello and thank you for sharing your story. How soon after getting your tumor removed were you able to conceive and did you conceive naturally?

Hi Bettie, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. I would like to share the diet with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed. Amen.

I've had three MRIs, 2 open and 1 in a place that had what they called wide bore for people up to 550lbs. I'm plus size but nowhere near 550lbs and that machine had me panicking! It was squeezing me around my arms and shoulders and even though I logically knew I wouldn't get stuck in it, I still felt like I might get trapped. Add to the fact that pillow clinics use tend to be too fluffy and offer no head and neck support and I didn't last ten minutes in that thing. I was so embarrassed and pissed (300 bucks on my end for that torture) and will never trust that wide bore bullsh-- label again! The 2 open ones were ok, but took 45 minutes of laying on my back, which is my problem area, so I almost couldn't get through it but I held on. I don't recall it being close to my face, I guess it was, but the sides were open, cool air was being gently blown in, and I didn't feel panicked. Really would think with all the crazy technology we have that MRIs would be less panic inducing!

Probably a bit late to comment but I am soon my have my third pituitary tumor operation due to it regrowing twice in 18 years. For anyone that is worried, don’t be, it will all be fine. 👍

How are you now, (March 2024) Bettie?❤

Thank you for this video. State of Mind os So important. I am going through the same exact surgery for the third time. I can relate to you on so many levels. God Bless you and happy I found your channel it let's me know I am not alone.

I just found out my 18 year old son has a pituitary tumor and finding your video has given me hope and eased my mind a bit thank you so much

On December 8th I got my MRI results on the 14th of December that I have a pituitary tumor. Still getting the labs done just got the lab work ordered.

I have zero cortisol and zero acth. My MrI is Monday. So scared

I had this transphenoidal surgery done 2 years ago and I am having problems such as pulsating sensation on the left side of the head and I can hear a cracking sound or clicking, it is such an unpleasant feeling and it does cause pain sometimes. Does anyone have any idea as to what it might be ?

I had my surgery last week, it was emergency because I lost my vision. Now on the road to recovery ❤

I’m in a new relationship..When should I bring this up to him? Should I give him the option to run now? I haven’t talked to an endocrinologist yet to see what the plan is for my 10mm pituitary tumor maybe I should wait til I have all the info before I let the guy in seeing know what’s going on with me. This is life changing

I just read my mri that said I have a 10mm x 9mm tumor. I cried my eyes out. When my doctor called me and told me my abnormal prolactin levels could mean I have a tumor on my pituitary gland I didnt think anything of it. I knew that couldn’t be something I’d have to deal with. Here I am today dealing with this shock. I havent talked to my doctor yet. I’ll see the endocrinologist Jan 30th. The wait is agonizing. Would surgery be something I need since it isn’t bigger than 10mm in size? What’s it like taking the meds if that is my treatment of choice ?What are side effects that some of you all are dealing with? I’m so thankful to you for making this video. It’s so comforting, you have no idea! I know I was not but you feel so alone and scare after learning you have a brain tumor! God bless you and hope that you and your family are doing well!Sincerely So scared in California

My first IUI failed and I got the results today….really heartbroken as I was so hopeful….we are going to start our second cycle right away after I get my periods…..hoping that we get lucky atleast this time

I've had so much anxiety on this. So scary. I just found out I most likely have this and I'm waiting on a specialist to get back to me. Your video helps me feel a bit less scared. I found out because I had a panic attack and they tested me for this.

Ya I got a similar think a micro adenoma and a adrenal adenoma. Finally after 9 years I figured it out. Going to run more tests to see if there are other tumors.
