micro tumour in pituitary

I have just been told I have a 2.4mm micro tumour in the right lobe of the pituitary. I have a history of 4mm adenoma removed from pituitary in 1993 and left adrenalectomy removal due to another adenoma in 1992. For years I was told my worsening PMS had nothing to do with Cushings Disease. However in the last 12 months my symptoms worsened and I thought I was menopausal due to flushes, etc. Blood tests showed that I was not menopausal. I was then told I had depression. I took medication but symptoms worsened so I weaned off antidepressants. I now have insomnia, weight gain, acne, carbohydrate cravings, high blood pressure. I only had one dextamethasone suppression test (normal) and eventually my doctor agreed to an MRI. I am now waiting to see neurosurgeon and endocrinologist. But I am wondering why was I told I have a micro tumour. Is this different to an adenoma. I think I have cyclic cushing disease and would appreciate if anyone could advise me as I want to make sure I am well informed by the time I meet the specialists. I rally have no quality of life at the moment and want to make sure I get the correct treatment eventually.

Thanks for advice. I've done that and it certainly helps some of the symptoms. Supplements and vitamins have helped too.

Start researching natural alternatives for cancer.  AHCC is great, eating cottage cheese with flax seed oil, etc.  Go to health food store for pH test strips...it should read 7.3.  If acidic, take Wheat Grass.  Yeast also causes cancer but there is no test for it unless you find a nutritionalist that looks at your blood under a microscope.  Get down to basic all natural foods...read the 13 names of MSG.  Detox.
