Hi there, ive just joined up....And I just wanted to inroduce myself.
My name is wayne, im 29 years old and I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumour (in my case it was prolactinoma) when I was 13yrs old and I have been on medication ever since and it seem to be under control now.
But i did struggle terribly when first diagnosed, well who wouldnt when being so young and finding out you have a tumour, especially whilst still in school, it was pretty hard trying to explain away whyI had 2 wet patches on my chest where where the prolactin was leaking due to the tumour, I put on loads of weight rapidly.......... well im sure all of you know the symptoms......etc. but ive just got on with it it still does upset me even now though.
Feel free to say hi... glad im not the only one dealing with this condition, one thing id lilke to know though is if it is still rare in my age because it was at the time I was diagnosed the doctor's said my case was unique!!!!!!!
Cheers
wayne
