I just found out that I have a tumor at 40. The symptoms have been there for years, but doctors never put it together until now. I really appreciate the doctor that sent me for an MRI. I was questioning myself. Like, I knew something wasn't right, but told I was fine. So it was kinda a relief finding out and knowing I'm not crazy. The not knowing what to expect is scary. I appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you!

I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma approximately 44 years ago. I took parlodel (Bromocriptine) for at least 25 years. I am doing fine. I haven’t taken medication for over 10 years. My prolactin levels are still slightly elevated at 33 but a recent MRI showed a very small microadenoma. Surgery has not been recommended for me. I wish you the best.

I’m sorry that you are going through this Gabbi! I can’t imagine how scary the past couple months have been like for you with all the tests and uncertainty you have been facing. I have been watching your videos for the past couple months because I like your openness, vulnerability, and want to help girls. The fact that you are so open with your faith throughout this video (and I’ve noticed in other videos), and how much you have been leaning on the Lord during this process is great to hear - as I too am a Christian. I am praying for you Gabbi. “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

I feel like God showed me your video to let me know that I’m not alone and maybe so I could tell you the same! I have been on Cabergoline for my 6mm prolactinoma for a year now. It has taken my prolactin from 109 to 13:). My endocrinologist is trying to get me off of cabergoline in the next month or so if my tumor is gone. I just wanted to share my positive experience with you. I wish you the best!

Found this video after also going through this and thanks so much for sharing your experience!

My prayers are with you 🙏🏻. You got this 💕

Sending prayers!!!!!!!💕💕

God bless you thank you for this video! I just found out about my prolactinoma diagnosis last week.

Thank you for sharing ❤

You are wonderful and amazing. Thank you. From Canada 🇨🇦

I have a lesion on my pituitary gland. It’s been a few years since I needed to see my doctor and get MRI. However I’ve been wondering about it and worried so my doctor wants me to get my 2nd MRI this week and I’ve just been freaking out scared but thank you for sharing your journey 🤍🥲

Thanks very insightful

Thanks for this video. What’s the update for you?

mine grew back after 4.5 years. I had a second surgery 1 year ago and now its back already and its very big. I wish i knew what makes it grow. A surgery every year is too overwhelming and financially difficult. 700 per month for health insurance with an 8400 deductible works out to 1400 per month forever.

For all those with health anxiety (and that includes me) please note that a pituitary tumor is NOT a brain tumor, and is not cancer. I've not met a single medical person who calls it either of those things. It is a benign growth on the pituitary gland. It is treatable. It isnt life-threatening. I have one. Im a male with high prolactin (over 1200 mu/L, thats about 58 ng/ML), with consequent symptoms - which are not great fun. But lets not over-sensationalize this. Its a treatable medical condition.

Hey will keep you in prayer Gabbi hope your having a nice week remember there is nothing our God cant do or provide! 🙏 Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

How long does it take to recover after surgery pls reply is there any mental illness after surgery

I’m a guy and have the same thing. I thought I was alone..

My prolactinoma has ruined my cognition 😢 I hope you are well now ❤
