Update: My Pituitary Tumor Is Back | As Told By

[@barbn.5249]

As someone who has to deal with a chronical illness for several years now I just want to let you know that it helps a lot to stay strong and focused. You seem to do that already 👍. Some things have to be done, but even during those times there are still a lot of other things in life which have to be appreciated and enjoyed. So many people have even bigger life threatening issues. When I'm worried or frustrated it sometimes helps to think about that. You'll handle it great. All the best! Stay strong and positive 🤜🤛

Thanks for your kind words. And I agree, that's definitely the right outlook to have.

Thank you for this. I had surgery for this in July 2023 so its early days but the speed at which these tumours grow appears to be so slow that they dont really pose a risk of regrowing at any speed. All of mine was removed, so I am up for another MRI in 9 months time. Bless you for sharing, it really does help others.

Was yours a micro or macro-adenoma? I have my surgery to remove a macro-adenoma on June 3rd, next Sunday.

My goodness you’re holding it together so well! How do you do that? I have no pituitary gland. Having another MRI in 10 days. I HATE that cage on the face. Do you have any pituitary function? I wish I could be as well spoken as you. I’m losing it. I hope they can give me my life back. Allergic to steroids for adrenal insufficiency. I’m going to keep my eyes closed like you suggested. Thank you.

How big was it the first time? How big was it when it came back?

[@Clarkssman]

I had pituitary surgery in 2017 then again in 2022. interesting that your surgeon wouldn't do the surgery because of the corroded artery. My Surgeon did the surgery despite the fact that the tumor was sitting on the corroded artery. He didn't get all of it and here ai am 1 year later and its already huge. At least Your doctor saved you the trauma of another surgery. Mine was a waste. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week. he does the gamma knife. I assume he will recommend that procedure this time. I didn't know what was involved in it . I guess ill be getting a cage screwed to my head. oh boy.

[@LisaGoddard]

You are so incredibly inspirational and precious to me, Ashley! Thank you for your courage, you trailblazer! Some people’s vlogs make life seem like it has to be perfect always. Your vlogs show that life can be graceful and joyful, even when you have to navigate through unknowns. Thank you for being who you are! Shelby is so dear to me also because I fully relate to onslaught of anxiety upon entering a hospital, even if the appointment isn’t for me! I have entered you both into our daily family Rosary prayer binder! Please check out my KZbin channel and my weekly podcast at FashionedByFaith.com

[@AsToldByAshandShelbs]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It definitely helps my mindset to have so many people I've never even met thinking of me.

[@mikewatt8706]
