PITUITARY TUMOUR

Just found out I'm having a pituitary tumour.

My dermatologist suggested doing some blood tets because he was starting me on Roaccutane.
I went to my GP who did an "aging profile" blood test which happened to include IGF-1. The result came back as 752ng/ml. This was exactly a week ago.

I managed to see the Endocrinologist the next day. He scheduled me for a MRI scan the following day.

They discovered a pituitary microadenoma about 9mm in size, so I suppose its confirmed I have acromegaly. i'm still waiting for my OGT Growth hormone test results.
