Hi everyone,
I have my pituitary gland tumor partially removed around 6 months ago, and I am on Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
Though my endocrinologist told me that my hormone level are slowly back to where it should be, my weight seems to be slowly under control, and no news from the hospital for the last MRI (I assume no news if good news) but the feel of worries that there is something in my head could grow back anytime-is there, even tough it slow grow.
My question is, is the coffee or caffeine having effects to it, some article says yes some articles says otherwise.
I am moderate coffee drinker.
Please advise.
Have a blessed day guys.-stay safe.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis can be very challenging but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey (my one is completely different) will help you navigate this difficult time.
The Community has many cancer specific support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive Pituitary tumour group as this will be a good place to connect with patients and family on the same cancer treatment pathway.
To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.
You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'.
It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.
We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.
To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section.
All the very best.
