MRIs ... before and after

ETA: AH HA! I got the other films to cooperate...
AFTER

BEFORE:

I've been so busy with life in general. I have been feeling ok some days and other days not so ok...BUT I had a follow up MRI yesterday and was able to get copies of the MRIs all the way back to August so I can show you the tumor....It really doesn't seem that bad when I look at it like this...it sure doesn't appear to be 2 1/2"...
So here I have marked the tumor
Photobucket
Here is the picture of my pituitary gland (the bright white spot I outlined)...you cannot see it (maybe a little) in the above picture because the tumor was suffocating it...

I know these are not the exact duplicate pics...I have those but I can't seem to get those copied off the CD in the right order...

Well sounds like things are going to get crazy around here with Andrew being off work and starting the day....lets say...NOT as a morning person and it's really annoying the crap out of me...

  2. I have just went for an MRI for the same thing, I have a lot of the symptoms of a pituitary tumor, and some of them, nothing else causes it. I got a call from someone the next day telling me I don't have one :S good news ya... but reliable..?
    I am still going to see the surgeon in September, but I was curious, how to tell the difference from a normal pituitary gland, and one with a tumor? From my guesses it looks like I have one :S?
