Hi susieq8, My surgery was a craniotomy because the location of the growth made the other options impossible to use. About one quarter of my scalp was shaved and the incision was closed with staples.

Thanks for your responses! I had my follow up with MRI and surgeon today. They are recommending surgery as mass has grown slightly. They are not completely convinced it is craniopharyngioma, but might instead be hypophysitis. Has anyone heard of/had experience with this? Thanks!
