I just took a real bad beat. (real life content)

A few months ago I noticed some lumps under my nipples. It turned into a general swelling in my breasts so I went to the doctor. He ran some bloodwork to help figure out what was causing it but thought it was just gynecostomia caused by me starting to work out prior to the start.

The bloodwork came back with me having an increased prolactin level. He had me come back in to run the bloodwork over, and this time the prolactin was even more increased.

So he scheduled an MRI for me today. I went in and had it today and just a few minutes ago recieved a phonecall back from the doc. It turns out I have a small pituatary adenoma (tumor).

WTF?!?! I have a tumor in my head?!? OMFG THAT SUXOR!?!!1!one.

:-( He says there is a chance it will be able to be taken care of by medicine, but a good chance it will require surgery.

I was looking into it though, and it doesn't seem to major, but it's still fuggin scary :-(

Here is a link to info on what I have:

Sucks man.

Sounds like no big risks are involved, but best of luck to you. Let us know how it goes.

I'm sure we're all hoping for the best.

I personally believe that everything happens for a reason and that which does not kill us makes us stronger. Anyways, I hope you get thru this and it isn't malignant.

Ugh. That certainly is a bad beat, [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

From your link and what you said it at least sounds like a manageable tumor and not as 'major' as some can be.

You will pwn this tumor like you pwn MTTs, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I had a tumor eating its way through my ear towars my brain. Surgery wasn't that bad, I just can't ride rollercoasters, or ride in cars for long, or hear out of my right ear. Also, I have no eardrum or inner ear. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, that's my fun story to tell. Here's hoping your's is a lot less dramatic.

Get better.
