Am I right in thinking it was to remove a tumour from Sue's pituitary gland?

It was a tumour (a 'benign meningioma'), but between the brain and the skull, just behind her left ear, and not on the Pituitary Gland. As brain tumours go, it was a pretty good place.

I have just posted Sue's account of the past few days in the usual place.

Thanks again for all your best wishes. Sue hopes to be back on the board soon.

I haven't posted on this thread, but I have been following it.

Give Sue my love. Thoughts and prayers for you all.

Hah!

I go on holiday, come back, and it's all done and dusted!

Glad you're up and about again! There'll be less threads and messages on the health board now it's all over

Savvy_Sue has a special place in my thoughts as she was the very first person to reply to a thread I started. Her considered advice is IMO a glowing reference to the kind of care people on this forum show one another.

Can I suggest as well as posting good wishes you show your support by signing the address book here.


Savvy_Sue, I'm so glad you're on the mend, and I hope your OH is looking after you both.

Lots of Love and Hugs

'cos I shouldn't be up at this time of night, but this really is me, I've had a few really bad days but went to doc yesterday and spent this afternoon at hospital where they have sorted me out some more, apparently I don't have water on the brain but I may have a mild dose of non-viral, non-bacterial, meningitis, which is quite common after they drill a hole in your head, and the treatment it responds to - no, they don't know why! - is STEROIDS! Well, it works for me. It's basically inflammation, swelling, which makes sense considering it felt as if the top of my brain was trying to escape out of the top of my head at full velocity. And the scar's behind my left ear!

And I can now reveal that I have had removed "we'd be gobsmacked if it wasn't" a benign meningioma. ("gobsmacked" = technical medical term for "we told you so but we could of course only be 99% sure from the outside looking in"). A posterior fossa mengingioma to be precise, and if any of you are sad enough to look it up you will see that if you're going to get a mengioma, this is not a bad place to have one. I was very fortunate to land up with the consultant (and team) who usually look after the very nasty ones, so I guess this was a stroll in the park for them, even though that stroll took about 6 hours ...

Not enough brain power for regular browding, but touched by all your thoughts and good wishes.

Love to you all

Savvy Sue on Steroids!

PS Completely off topic, but if Jellyhead (or anyone else) has had that baby yet, a link to the annoucement would be enormously appreciated!

OMG I didn't know we'd got that!

My DH was very touched and impressed by the number of hits on our website from MSE. Thank you all. I haven't learned how to edit our website yet so don't always know what's he's up to over there!

Ah, Divadee! Please pm me your address if Little Miss would like her own weight in Madascar figurines from Nestle cereals ... Well, I exaggerate slightly, but I think I've lost your address and I've certainly lost one of my work surfaces ...
