@1997bcs I also had a germinoma brain tumor that was by my hypothalamus and pituitary gland in 2009. Also had radiation and chemotherapy, and brain surgery. I have had Diabetes insipidus since then, and just recently found out I have growth hormone deficiency as well, and am still working on getting the hormone replacement. Definitely deal with chronic fatigue. Cancer sucks man. And the affects of chemo and radiation seem to be never ending. Wishing you the best! Its rare to find someone else with the same tumor type and treatment.

@hannahbananakevin, you're right that it is rare to find another person with the same type of rare cancer. Germinomas are rare tumors that primarily occur in children and adolescents. May I ask how old you were when the tumor was diagnosed?
