The pituitary gland
Hi All: I had Cushing’s with a pituitary tumor. My endo always said I had too many symptoms. He said he could isolate the Cushing’s symptoms, but he was still left with a handful of other symptoms unrelated to Cushing’s, so he thought I had something else in addition to Cushing’s. But he said, one thing at a time.
I had the transf….up the nose surgery to remove the tumor on 3 April/2013. Successfully removed, however the surgeon nicked the pituitary gland and now I have adrenal insufficiency and take 5mg prednisone for life.
Then the something else turned out to be uterine cancer so I had an operation on 28 Nov/2013 for that. I am feeling my old self.
Last year was able to walk playing 9 holes of golf. This year goal is to walk 18 holes of golf. Today I consider myself Not So Cushie and am grateful for each day I have of good health.
I am writing my memoir: IT WAS THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER and have completed a one-person play of the same name based on the memoir. If anyone is interested in following my progress on these two things please see my website:janbarrett7.wordpress.com.
