Real stories from people affected by pituitary tumours.
Here you can read and listen to personal experiences of symptoms, diagnosis, hormone changes, vision problems, surgery, medication, radiotherapy, recovery and life after a pituitary tumour diagnosis.
Pituitary tumours develop in the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain that helps control many of the body’s hormones. Some pituitary tumours can affect hormone levels, while others may cause symptoms because of their size or pressure on nearby structures, including the optic nerves.
Every person’s experience is different. Some people are treated with medication, while others may need surgery, radiotherapy or long-term hormone replacement and monitoring.
