Growth Hormone - Should You Replace It?

If you have not heard of or visited the Pituitary Network Association's website, I would encourage you to do so and keep it on your list of resources. Periodically PNA hosts webinars featuring doctors specializing in treatment for diseases of the pituitary gland. Here's their most recent video on growth hormone deficiency. This webinar is insightful regarding the power of growth hormone and its tremendous effects on the body.

Not Alone

I found this story on the National Brain Tumor Society's blog about a brain tumor survivor and found a song he wrote to be encouraging. Pituitary Tumors are not typically cancerous, but after two brain surgeries and six weeks of radiation treatment, there's a lot in the words of this song that's still relatable.

A quote from the blog post:

"I want other cancer survivors, patients, and caregivers to find hope, courage, and inspiration from 'Meant to Live' and my journey. My journey against this cancer is far from over, but I do know that I have already beat it, regardless of what it does to me moving forward. This is because of how I have lived after I was told I have cancer and will continue to live knowing it is prevalent in my life. Different people have different ways of responding to such a crisis, but I do know that in order to be successful with anything, your mindset must be in a forward, positive direction that leaves no room for negativity. You must make the best of the hand you have been given. A little faith goes a long way as well."
