I sent you a private note with more information.
can i find a website that i can chat or E-mail a doctor so that he can help me more
Then the surgery helped - but I would see if the meds help more.
You do put your eyes at risk as well as your pituitary and your hormones with the gamma knife depending on the location - know where the tumor is know, and ask a lot of questions.
Gamma knife can help - but it takes a while - and you may not have another choice if your tumor is so aggressive.
i forget to tell you that the secretion of the prolactin before the surgery is 6632 ng and after is 1120 ng.
thank u very much for answering me.
my doctor is worried that my optic chiasma is in this tumor so that gamma knife will effect on my optic nerves, however they didn't tell me anything about losing other hormones, i am waiting for a Sweden expert that they told me that he is the best in making gamma knife and he is the only person that can help me to take the decision of making gamma or surgery but i am a little worry so i begin to ask about it.
You have a type of tumor that can be treated with medications. however, yours is very large.
Yes, you need to take the medications and see how it effects the size.
Has your doctor discussed with you the side effects of the gamma knife and that it will take 6 months to 5 years to work? And that you may lose your other hormones, and may have to take other medications?
Surgery carries the same risk of taking hormones, some of that depends on the skill of your surgeon - but the effect of relief will be immediate.
There are two medications available as well. You may want to get a second opinion.
