this looks more like the effect of steroid medicines than a pituitary tumor

Don't worry. I have been having all of that for 28 years. Too many surgeries, too many tests. The newest is my colon is shot. Or maybe my liver and I never did drugs! Best to calm down and be POSITIVE!

well sorry to hear that , God bless

Don't worry, dear. The tumor they may be looking for in your pituitary gland is called a pituitary adenoma, which in non malignant. I have a hemmoragic adenoma, that affects my cortisol levels. I have an MRI every year to make sure it hasn't grown any. Even if it were to grow, the surgery is generally very safe (they go through your nose!). The mortality rate of this tumor is less than one percent. Good luck, and God Bless!
