Isn't He? I sent an email through an online prayer request at our church. I later received a very special call from a woman regarding her husband and his specialization in the pituitary gland. Here is a portion of what her husband emailed her to help us:
...I have met Dr. Asamoah briefly at a speaker training event in February (in Florida) - he is a general endocrinologist who lists pituitary disorders as among his clinical interests (AACE directory). ...he is a reasonable first endocrinologist to see.
...prolactinomas are usually able to be managed by medication and it is now quite unusual to require surgery - although it can happen. It is important to get all the facts as there can be "curve balls".
...recommend Dr. James Edmondson at IU Medical Center but if the patient wants an expert second opinion on a difficult prolactinoma, I would recommend Dr. Mark Molitch at Northwestern in Chicago. He is an expert in prolactinomas and Chicago is closer than Charlottesville or Boston!
...Surgery on pituitary tumors should only be done by surgeons who specialize in pituitary surgery, usually at major medical centers.
...members of the Pituitary Society : Paul Nelson (IU Med Ctr), Aaron Cohen-Godal (Methodist & St. Vincent).
I emailed Dr. Molitch asking if he would see us for a second opinion. That is what we have thus far.
Please pray for Carl's doctor appointment tomorrow, that it all goes according to God's plan.
