5 Dec - Plans Firming Up

We saw Sarah's neurosurgeon as well as her oncologist this week and both agree that it's time to do the surgery to remove the pituitary mass. So, we're working on scheduling the brain surgery for Sarah. It looks like it will likely be in early January since that is when an OR will be available and two doctors' schedules overlap (an ENT and a neurosurgeon do this surgery together since an endoscope is used to access the pituitary via the nasal cavity). After this, we'll know through biopsy what the mass really is, but we'll also have to see what pituitary function remains (or is restored).
Sarah is still feeling quite a bit better now that her body chemistry is closer to normal with the help of her new daily endo tablets. She's eating food she likes and also more energetic overall.
