5 years ago, I had a craniophariginoma removed from atop my pituitary.
The later radiation therapy killed off the pituitary.
Still thankful to have survived.
Surgery completed 06 February, stayed 2 nights in hospital. First 3 days on headache and movement of head causing pain. Day 3, the worst. Only taking Tylenol, Amoxicillin, and Enoxaparin sodium injections. Dr. Maria Peris Selda, neurosurgeon Mayo Clinic and Jacob Eide, otolaryngologist was excellent.
Up and about, listening to my body and following instructions.
Cannot wait to get the packing out of my nostrils!
@ksavage48 That's fantastic news about the successful surgery! I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with headaches, though. I know how debilitating they can be. My brother experienced them for a week after his surgery, and they were pretty severe. Hopefully, yours will pass quickly. Sending you strength and continued healing!

You were in good hands. I’m having surgery 06 February. My spiritual beliefs and trusting in God have been what’s saved me, knowing He is with me.
Are your hormones at acceptable levels? Are you fatigues?
I have found the Mayo Clinic helpful since you can communicate with others who have had adenoma surgery. Wishing you the best.
Hello, and welcome to this incredible community! I'm so grateful to be a part of it and thrilled to share my family's story with you. My brother was recently diagnosed with pituitary adenoma, and on December 31st, he underwent surgery. I'm thrilled to report that the surgery was a huge success, and he's already experiencing a significant improvement in his overall health. Although the initial recovery period was challenging, with some extreme headaches, he's now back on his feet and getting stronger every day. In fact, he's even started walking every day, which is a huge milestone for him. This group has been an incredible source of support and guidance for me, and I'm so thankful to have found it.
I'm looking forward to connecting with all of you and sharing more about our journey.

I so appreciated your post.
I am very interested in understanding more about Candida.
I was diagnosed with a macroaednoma November 2020.
I have been dealing with symptoms for so many years.
Finally, the magic sentence was,
"If it was your wife, or your daughters coming to you with these problems, your advice would be, 'Don't worry about it. We will do paps every year, and as long as we don't find any polyps, you should be fine.'"
I had been telling my Dr that I have not had a cycle for more that 5 years, now. and was only in my mid 30's. I have no chance of having any children, now.
I think I may have gotten off topic. I apologize. I didn't mean to rant.
Back to the topic. I would love to understand more about Candida, if you would be so kind. Are there any general tips you would be willing to pass on?
I am older and don’t personally have any insight, but there is a great support group I belong to on FB called PanHypoPituitarism. There are members on there who deal with fertility issues (and some have had babies!) I’ve learned so much from this group.

I was just diagnosed with a 3mm pituitary adenoma. Did blood work and waiting to see a neurologist. Pretty scared
