Hello,
Good day.
You may have to do MRI pituitary to see the size of pituitary mass. Do you have any vision problems ?
You should take Cabergoline for few years. If the tumor shrinks completely, we may be able to stop the tablet after 2 years of continuous use. If the tumor doesn't shrink or if you have any vision problems, then you may need surgery
