I am starting this on behalf of the Morgan family. Miss McKenna has been dealing with a diagnosis of Precocious female puberty and recently found out some devastating news. McKenna had an MRI which showed she likely has a pituitary adenoma, which is a benign tumor in the pituitary glad in the brain that can grow in place and press on the eye nerves but does not spread. She is being referred to Pediatric Endocrinology and Neurosurgery at UCSF. This family is one who could use the assistance as the trips to UCSF are not cheap. The travel time one way is 4 hours if you're lucky. This will be a huge burden but they are willing to do whatever is necessary for this wonderful child.
For the medically proficient, this is the conclusion on McKenna's MRI report:
4 x 5 x 10 MM oval area of nonenhancement in the posterior pituitary gland, with a crescentic-increased signal on both T1 and T2 weighted images. This probably represents a small pituitary adenoma with hemorrhagic material within.
Any help for this great family is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this through.
