Prayer request: Swordmaker's older daughter having pituitary tumor surgery
Vanity | February 9, 2009 | Swordmaker

Posted on 02/09/2009 1:47:53 PM PST by Swordmaker

My 33 year old daughter, Becky, is going to have surgery in about an hour to remove a tumor from her pituitary gland. The tumor, about 1.5 cm in size, is causing her to throw off hormones which are playing havoc with her body. Because of its location, just below the optic nerve, pituitary tumors can threaten one's eyesight and surgery in this area is inherently risky to the optic nerve and could result in blindness. The procedure, which should take about three hours, accesses the pituitary gland through the nostrils.

Please pray for a good outcome and to safeguard her eyesight.

Over the past three years, while they've been trying to shrink the tumor with drug therapy, Becky has named the tumor "Fred." I hope the Fredectomy is sucessful and that Fred is evicted. . . permanently.

It seems that lately, good news is counter-balanced with bad news. :o) :o(

I am so happy to hear that everything went to well!!! This is excellent news. I’ll be sure to pass on your daughter’s success onto hubby’s cousin, to give her some encouragement.

Again, so happy to hear the good news!

oops, just read the good news, which also eases my mind a little, should my wife eventually need the same procedure.

Glad things went well!
