    Hi Katie grace

    I've  only just joined this site recently but I'm  sure there are some with this problem. My  pituitary tumour has become a concern because  though it was found several  years ago it has only become  a real problem  for the last year or so and am trying to lose weight before I have the op by my surgeon as hopefully  it won't  be so risky.

    What problems  are you having? Do you have a good endocrinologist who is ready to explain everything  you want to know? Sometimes I find it all quite overwhelming and wish I could record conversations  at appointments  as even after researching a lot of this myself I still forget so much. 

    Hope we new ones to the site can support  and help each other! ☺
