my CORTISOL lvl is 0.9 my doctor says its barely low

so i just want to kinda know more about this since it seem to take a while to get in tests anywhere. i have a doctor i have tests that i will go though once all the paper work goes though. i just want to know how worried i really should be. i feel as though my doctors try to make everything sound ok for me which is fine but i rather someone blunt. i have a pituitary  tumor but its only 3mm so they are doing nothing with it.. i found out a few months ago. and all my doctors seem like nothing is a big deal. they wont do another mri. which i want because since we just found my tumor i want to know is it growning abnormally. i just want to know the blunt truth about what i may be looking to in my future. i been sick for over a year now. i take picture so i have proof and everything but i still feel like im not being taken seriously. im a mom and i just need to know if i truely have nothing to worry about or what to do....

What time was the test taken? What other tests were done?

If this doctor chooses to ignore the pituitary tumor, please find a neuro-endocrinologist at a larger hospital or university and get a competent doctor to test you properly. Get copies.

You don't need another MRI IMHO, you need testing to find out what type of tumor this one is.
