You know its never good when you go into the doctor for results on ONE possible adenoma and they start the sentence saying, So we found a couple things... huh?! plural? Exsqueeze me? Baking Powder?
Yes, 2 things!! A. I have a micoadenoma on my Pituitary Gland. It is less than a cm big and I am scheduled to see an endocrinologist for treatment/ further testing next Thursday.
B. They noticed a mass that turned up on my MRI. It is larger than my tumor and it is yet another tumor!
So, this is pushed my PIT tumor to the backburner and now I am focusing on this lovely tumor. It is known in medical lingo as Nasopharyngeal Mass. If you google Nasopharyngeal every result comes up with carcinoma or cancer..
This is located in the same neigborhood as my Pit gland but, different area code. I am going to see an ENT tomorrow afternoon and from what I have read online. Seems like, the next steps for this bad boy are.. they will scope me through my nose, possible CT and biopsy. I am preparing myself for the worst possible outcome which is the "c" word. But, I did read it is easily treatable with chemo and radiation and much higher success rate in young women. But that is only if it is Malignant! So... I will find out more tomorrow.
Another fun thing I learned is my Optic Nerves are enlarged and I am now being squeezed in to see a neurologist. Meanwhile I am on a diuretic that should help ease the pressure on my eyes and headaches I have been having.
Add in the boob biopsy my GP is still adamant about and I have 4 issues and 4 different specialists I have to see. I went out and bought a notebook tonight so I could keep it all straight.
Will update more later. I am tired and need to just shut my brain off. Night!

I love you Raych and am here, but not much I can do from such a distance. Wish we lived closer so I could help with the kids n what not. it seems like you have an awesome support system down there to help you through all this. I'm sure it's very scary, but you are a strong woman who can take on anything. Remember "my names Raychel and I like to fight." thinking of you, praying, love you lots.
