Macy,

Please calm down.  The MRi is going to tell a lot more than the CT scan.  You do need a lot more info before you start getting worried.

Many people have some enlargement of the pituitary without anything to be concerned about. Sometimes it is just an incidental finding (and there are no symptoms or problems associated).

Even if there were something there, often it can be treated just with medication / or even with just monitoring if it is stable.  Most likely it is not serious.

LEt us know how you go.
