I gotta say, the Androgel the doc put me on when I was first diagnosed with my prolactinoma (what it sounds like you have) was really great. I was almost sorry when the weekly medication they put me on had shrunk down the tumor enough that I could come off the testosterone. It was like being 18 again. Side effects? My wife is due to give birth next month at age 41. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

It is a prolactinoma and I've been on the medicine for while. I just went in 2 weeks ago and got more bloodwork done to see how it is affecting things, and am still awaiting the results. I was just happy that the tumor was too small to require surgery, but that medicine is pretty damn expensive. I don't think I was put on testosterone, so I didn't get any of those side affects [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
