Anyway, the good news is that I got the results today. Pretty quick turn around I'd say. It's exactly what my endocrinologist suspected... a small benign pituitary tumor. It's only 4-6 mm in size and completely treatable with medication and should not need surgery. It sounds like I should be on the medication for around 2 years and then they'll try to take me off it and see if it reappears. I'm happy with the results. If they didn't find anything at all I would have been like, "That nice... but what's causing the hormone issues?" And the tumor that is there won't need surgery and isn't in my brain. So that's good. I'd say God is still in the business of answering prayers.

I had no idea Amy. I will be praying that your medication works and you won't need it ever again.
I told you! We're gonna be tumour buddies... I'm happy that the doctors don't have to do anything invasive on you right now. I remember walking into the ward for my MRI and they hooked me up to the IV - I learned exactly what was going to happen and exactly what I was going to feel in the waiting room with about 4 women who were in different stages of cancer treatment. Apparently the do the IV MRI's in the morning which is the "looking for the tumour" MRI test.
