Hello,

I had an MRI last September after some visual problems the scan revealed a 7mm Microadenoma.

Endocrologist appointment and blood test revealed its non functioning.

I am now approaching 12 months and have to return for a follow up scan to track its progress.

I'm now only starting to worry about what’s going to happen next?

Has anyone had experience of this situation please?

I had my driving licence revoked in March of this year so relying on my wife and e-bike to get around!

Thanks in advance if anyone can share their experiences?

    I am sorry that you have not yet had a response to your question but sometimes it can take a few days for someone who has experienced similar to see it and offer support. By me replying it will bump your post and hopefully bring it to someone's attention. 

    I am sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with a microadenoma in September. I can understand that it is a worrying time coming up and to have to have a scan to track its progress. If you would like to talk to one of the nurses who may be able to help answer your questions, then please do give the Support Line a call. It is available from 8am-8pm daily. 

    In the meantime I will pop a link with some info that may help.
