Hi Leah!
Thanks! This is all confusing right now. I do have a pituitary tumor. However, the adrenal gland tests came back negative. I still have the tightness in the face, plus a little nausea and headaches. I go to the neurologist on 07/23 and the opthalmologist on 07/31. Hopefuly they can find out what is wrong. It may end up being a really bad sinus infection.
How long have you had your tumor and how long have you been dealing with it?

Hello Leah and Welcome to It's Just Benign!
I started IJB because I had such difficulty finding benign brain tumor survivors like myself. I'm a long-term survivor (but have many side-effects), diagnosed in 1985 at age 11. There was no support for me then, no internet, little family.
Besides connecting with survivors, we can exchange medical information here, get support from survivors like us and connect both on and offline!
There are Q&A’s with a respected neurosurgeon, nutritionist and pain specialist under the Resources tab. Please feel free to submit a question to the Doctors and they will answer!
Also there are many different groups such as religious discussions, migraines, seizures, depression and anxiety. Please feel free to start one of your own as well!
Please consider making an annual donation of just $10 for the year to help us with website, social media and other administrative expenses once you see the value from the services provided on IJB.
