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).Quote:

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.
Prayers for you! Please keep us updated when you can! Our hearts are with you.
You are in my prayers I hope it's all gonna be fine....hugs!
I am very sorry to hear this, such awful news and I am hoping and praying for you that it is treatable xx
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
