Do you know if the tumor is benign or malignant? Let's start there first.

Also, age of person with tumor will be helpful.

I have one of these pituitary tumours and have had it for over 20yrs. The pituitary gland is also our third eye that gives us physic ability's. It is also the major gland for releasing hormones. Stress Hormones in my case ouch !
For women it is also the gland that creates breast milk and stops you from ovulating. It sends a message that your pregnant so your cycle stops and breast milk begins.
It sits behind your left eye in an indented hole, right near the eyes nerve endings. Elizabeth Taylor had hers surgically removed as the tumour was pushing upward onto the nerves and effecting her vision. There are two types of drugs on the market that I know of and both work well. So dont panic its only a tumour because its working overtime and its almost like a bulging muscle They dont grow into any kind of cancer, but they do mess up your hormones which makes life funky.
