@gatorz, sorry to hear that you have another pituitary tumor. Some pituitary tumors can be treated with medicines. They can help lower the amount of hormones the tumor makes. In some cases, they also may help shrink the tumor. Read more from Mayo Clinic here https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pituitary-tumors/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350553
