I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma 42 years ago. I was given radiation treatment as the tumour was judged to be quite small for an operation. Since then I have been treated with hormone replacements. Thyroxine, hydrocortisone and calcium. I was unable to have children but adopted two beautiful daughters.
I am constantly reviewed at the hospital and their care has been wonderful.
Sadly, probably due to the prolactinoma, my libido was affected and my marriage broke up. If this affects you, there is help available.
