I've had a hard time finding information about my tumor on the internet and in book stores. This book answered many of my questions and helped me realize I need to see a more informed doctor!

This book is what helped me to find useful information on what was an illness that wrecked havoc with my life. I appreciated the fact that so much of the content was written as true medical data. Although that is a little more complex to read it also validated the accuracy of the information to my doctors as I tried to use this to further educate them on pituatary conditions.

As a side note, the Pituatary Network Association is constantly striving to improve their contributions to this cause and they released a fourth edition of this book on their website during 2006. Any edition will be useful but getting the 4th edition will provide the most current knowledge base. Their website is extremely valuable but also having a reference book was a must for me.

This book was really helpful in understanding the many aspects of pituitary tumors and disorders. There is something for everyone and the articles are outstanding. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. There is SO much excellent and easy to understand information in this book. I've never found another resource that covered so many aspects of being a pituitary patient like me. Great articles, and listings of other resources like doctors that actually KNOW what they are doing. I'm so glad I found this book.

Unfortunatly I wish I could say that this book had all the answers for me, but I can't. It was quite frustrating trying to find information because many of the sentences were not even complete! Some sentences began on one subject and then jumped to another and never answered the question that it posed. In addition the language used was suited more for physicans and those in the medical field. In my experience I have found that the same information is available on the web. Do yourself a favor and surf the web it will be less frustrating than spending money on this book.
