How Should Pituitary, Arm And Rib Cage Lumps Be Treated?

Hi I've just got a massive problem, and need some advice I was raped by a police officer when I was a cadet and it keeps playing on my mind. In dec I took an overdose as I just wanted to end my life since then I have been to the hospital and have discovered 3 lumps one on the pituitary one in between my rib cage and one in my arm. I can't deal with any of this no more and I am trying so hard not to take an overdose right now.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
For your arm and rib cage lump you need fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. It can be some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

For pituitary lump you should go for MRI. It will give exact site, location and spread. Treatment also depends on pressure symptoms. Debulking surgery can be done if needed.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
