Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Last year I was diagnosed with a pituitary macroadenoma. I had been poorly for quite sometime before the doctors came to the diagnoses of a pituitary tumour. In July 2014 I had my first MRI scan which revealed a 12.73mm tumour sitting at the top of my pituitary gland between the brain & the gland. Due to it's awkward location, surgery wasn't an option to remove it & this last 11 months have been a very frustrating & tiring time while we've tried to figure out which medications would be best in regulating my hormones again, as the tumour was blocking all the normal functions between the brain & the pituitary gland.
During this long, worrying & difficult journey, The Pituitary Foundation have offered invaluable advice & support! They work hard to raise awareness of all pituitary conditions & tirelessly make every effort to keep up to date, supplying people with fantastic advice. All pituitary conditions are often never heard of, they're the more silent illnesses that you never know people are struggling with, but have such an effect on their everyday lives. The Pituitary Foundation are the ones to really push & raise the awareness as well as recogising peoples individual struggles to living with all kinds of pituitary conditions.
