@diannetaggart the tumor is from the treatment...I will have to take steroids for life. I am not having pity party just explaining.

@diannetaggart
I have the same thing...Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison's Disease) caused by the immunotherapy (KETRUDA). Like you, I am happy to be alive! I was on my deathbed when they finally figured out that I had zero Cortisol. After they gave me steroids it was like I was raised from the dead! So, hugs to you and so sorry about your pituitary gland and the tumor. I'm doing great, like you. Life is good!

When I found out I had BC, I knew exactly why. I had gene testing done. I have the BRCA 1 gene mutation. I have always known that my grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of 32. I was always told by doctors when I voiced my concern, oh, don't worry about it, it was on your father's side. I believe my BC was delayed in my later life (age 60) because I was a runner that never had a period and when I got married, I was on birth control pills, then had 2 babies. I had the oblation to my uterus when my youngest daughter was 1. Now my oldest daughter was tested and has the BRCA 1 gene same as me and her doctor put her on the birth control pills to prevent the cells separating, hence prevent BC. That's the theory now, anyways.
