Pituitary Ademoaner: About Me

I am a 23-year old girl who was diagnosed with a TSHoma (pituitary adenoma secreting thyroid-stimulating hormone, also known as a thyrotropinoma) in December 2010. This excitingly rare brain tumour appears to have been the culmination of all my childhood attempts to be "special".

As well as neoplasia, my cells enjoy mitosis, catabolism, and badminton.

1. The beginnings of my symptoms
2. My first trip to hospital
3. Attempts at Diagnosis
4. Finally Diagnosed
5. MRI Scan
6. Question Time with Mr Surgeon
7. Pituitary Surgery: Pre-operative Assessment
8. The days before pituitary surgery
9. The day of my pituitary surgery
