Undergoing surgery to remove a pituitary tumor was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, both physically and emotionally. When I first received my diagnosis, I had so many questions and searched endlessly for personal stories to help me understand what to expect. Unfortunately, I found very little information from a patient’s perspective. That’s why I decided to share my journey—not just the medical details, but the real, lived experience of preparing for surgery, navigating recovery, and finding moments of hope along the way. My goal is to provide comfort, guidance, and reassurance to anyone who may be facing this surgery. If even one person feels a little more prepared or less alone because of my story, then writing this will have been worth it.
