I am quite sure that no Mayo doctor just dismissed you, but did he give you any information about why you have symptoms? If not I would ask that directly of your second doctor. If there is something on your scans, then what might be done to treat, or alleviate symptoms. I can tell you that sometimes they don’t really have a better solution, but I am not afraid to ask a doctor, “are you sure?”

I wish you could have been with me. When I asked him questions he said "Nope" when I said do you think my symptoms could be related he again said "Nope" I asked if another scan should be ordered since the tumor couldnt be visualized on my pituitary gland. He said Christmas...all done in less than 10 minutes. I am not sure what dismissed is but I did feel that way. I am hopeful that when visiting a MD they are open to questions and look you in the eye and not looking towards the door.
