Cabergoline takes 6 months to shrink the tumor which is when my next mri is scheduled. If it has shrunken enough I will try going without trt and seeing what my natty levels are. Its promising considering I was st 420 after only a month.

Im pretty sure ive had it since I was 12 or so. I just discovered that it was the cause of my migraines.
Yes, cabergoline and bromocriptome are great IF you are eligible for them. If it's prolactin secreting than you're in luck, but if it's non-functioning then you can't take those because it won't work. I took bromocriptine for a prolactinoma for 15 years. My doctor said it shrunk down to the point where I didn't need the medication , however, my most recent MRI detected that it is back and NOT secreting prolactin , hence I'm not a candidate for that therapy anymore. So tomorrow I start trt to get my hormone levels back in check.
