Pituitary tumor symptoms: joint, muscle and body aches

What a relief to remove the tumor from such a dangerous location.
My daughter’s adenoma also involved the carotid artery. The surgeon was 95% sure he got it all. Annual MRIs stayed normal and no symptoms since.

My first surgery was 22 years ago and she messed up and took less than 5% of the tumor out so 8 mo's later I went to UVA and they did the job right. I have had no problems since except dealing with hormone replacement. The tumor got pissed off after the first surgery and wrapped around the artery and they took out as much as they could and I still have had no issues besides the net that has given me problems. I think she will do just fine. They did have to take the gland out but you can survive with just the stalk of the P-gland.
