Pituitary Macroadenoma-Operate or Wait?

One year ago after failing miserably at quarterly eye exam - sent to ER. After Many hours MRI found Pituitary Macroadenoma measuring 30MM. It was so slow growing and undiagnosed despite many health issues until I was 74 years old. I suffered more and more problems as I aged and it was treated with more prescriptions. The surgery was handled with great success and recovery while restrictive was complete. My regret is that I would have preferred the tumor had been found much sooner. I would have definitely proceeded with the removal at the first available opportunity. Good luck

@trishbindy22, despite the delay in diagnosis, your story offers hope. How old were you at time of surgery? How are you doing now?
