Didn't expect that...

I'm very sorry to hear that, but the good news is that a prolactinoma is benign and can be treated by meds in most people (usually dopamine agonist drugs). I'm a med student and we were just talking about this a few weeks ago and what a good prognosis it has. Do you feel like you might be developing tunnel vision (losing peripheral vision), or just blurred vision?

Tiggerian, I know 2 people with a prolactin-producing tumors - they're really super common Prolactinoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and most of them are benign. My friends with them, just have to keep an eye on them and get their blood levels checked a couple times a year. I'm praying for a good outcome for you.

I have 'foggy' and blurred vision quite a lot - I find it hard to focus on things for a long time (for example today I couldn't focus on my microscope at all - no matter how much people told me it was focused and very clear, I just couldn't make anything else but "pink blur" on my slide).

I also suffer from near constant headaches and nausea as well as having problems with my balance (walk into things or just simple loose my balance while standing still).

I'm so sorry to hear you are facing this! I think it's excellent that they have an idea of what is going on, and the replies everyone is giving make it seem hopeful. I hope they can find the right medicine for you, so that the problems you are having are cured soon!

Oh my goodness, I really hope it is non-cancerous! Hopefully the doctors have answers for you soon!

My prayers are with you! I hope that its benign and can be treated soon.

Im so sorry to hear you are going through this. I pray you hear good news from all this soon. I had a major scare a couple of years ago, a biopsy of a thyroid tumour I had scared me stupid. It was a long stressful wait for surgery, all I could think of was my 2 young babies at the time. I had the surgery. It was all benign and here I am pregnant with my forth baby just over 2 yrs later...
We are all here thinking of you and sending you many healthy thoughts. Much love and big hugs x x x x
