Saying Hello! Just had surgery for a pituitary tumor

Posted by daphne2020 @daphne2020, Aug 14, 2020

I was just told about this group today. I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor on June 10th after sudden symptoms, somewhat rushed to Mayo, and had surgery June 12th. I was totally healthy before this.....had never been sick, other than cold or sinus. In two months my entire life has changed. I am so very thankful that the tumor was benign, but still struggling. I feel like no one around me understands, and would so much like to connect with others who have had this experience (yet, I so wish no one else had to experience this). I also want to say, so thankful for Dr. Tawk and the whole team at Mayo. So appreciate any thoughts or feedback:)

Hello! I wish you're doing well!! I had my Craniofaringioma removed back in 1980. A time when this type of surgery was still unknown. My surgeons were from England and travelled to Toronto, to operate.
Remember: with Medical advances, you have a better chance than I did!! And just as long as your surgeons are good. You won't have to suffer, what I went through!!
And after your surgery. Its always good to get tough with yourself. Like my Dad once said, "You have to help yourself!!" And Yes, he was right!!
Take Care!!
You're in my prayers!!
