Just diagnosed yesterday with second pituitary adenoma in 5 years
Diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma during the first ever covid pandemic, as the lock down order was first put in place. I live in a very remote part of Canada, (NL). They have very little technology in the hospital here. We are always experiencing overflow of untreated patients, late diagnostic imaging/late blood labs/ late referral to near by city of St.Johns, NL for MRI/ endocrinologist/ and all other specialists and surgeons that are not available in my home tome. I was treated horribly here and likly would have died had I not checked myself out of the hospital here and went on a radio show pleading for help, I had no medication, no doctor, and no plan of how I would come out of this, I was terrified to say the least, I just wanted more time with family, and I had no guarantee. I was very blessed to have God answer my prayers and before long I was in front of a internal medicine specialist in St.Johns, NL. I went on medication for the tumor for approximately 6 mths, I went for a MRI at that time and it was gone to my surprise. I survived it! Unfortunately the doctors discovered many other conditions that I had been living with for years, left untreated without medicine and surgery. I am still here today because I choose to believe in God's promises and that he sent us wonderful Doctors and surgeons to vessels for God to work through. My time will come, it is written, Amen. I am so happy to have found this website! Amazing motivational stories from others on helps me feel like I'm not alone, not the only one experiencing change and the unknown, it's comforting and grounds me. We all do the best in our mess, God bless you all, I pray for safety and good health all the days of your lives, in Jesus name Amen.✝️❤️🕊️🌍

1 ReactionHello,
My son 32 years old recently diagnosed for pituitary adenoma. Would you please send me the name of the medicine so we can ask our doctor if that is the right one for my son. Very worried mother here as you know how our hospitals are over crowded in Canada
