Hello They are same thing just different names. I had pit adenoma, grew from micro to macro in 4 yrs. had transpheniodal surgery in 2007, have been screwed up ever since. joined this group and pit.adenoma group. didn't understand why there are 2. maybe the tumor group should just direct you to the adenoma group. i had a long journey from getting symptoms to getting diagnosed to surgery so if i can help anyone else on their journey just "holler". i was scared to death when i first found out i had a tumor in my head. i tried medication first but it didn't work. now i wonder if surgery was such a good thing. oh well, live and learn

What were the first symptoms you experienced? We found mine while trying to get to the bottom of these constant headaches I've had for 2 yrs and now the doctors are trying to tell me the tumor isn't the cause. They also say it's not causing the fatigue, over emotional behavior, or the weight gain I've experienced over the last 2 years. I must say it's getting to be ather irritating, but when I found out that they didn't discover the pituitary gland until 1983, the surgery thing started to make me pretty nervous. It's a relatively new science. I agree that this group should be merged with the aadenoma group, so from here on out I'll talk to you over there, K? - Lynzie
