Happy to help: But the question is a bit unclear. Are you worried that the pituitary tumor wasn't removed or the consequences of the removal of some "normal" tissue? If you repost with a bit more clarity this will help or just consider a formal HealthTap Prime consultation to allow for a live discussion.
