Well yesterday had both an MRI and a CT scan done. The VA puzzles me sometimes with their procedures. Anyway, the neurosurgeon says my adenoma has reduced 4.3mm or it could just be the way the "slice" was filmed. So no surgery right now. I meet with the neurologist on the 24th. Hopefully, I will get some new answers. So far I have the following diagnosis for the same problems:

Doctor 1 - adenoma
Doctor 2 - scar tissue from brain injury
Doctor 3 - Neurosarcoidosis
Doctor 4 - cyst

To save money, I've gone off of the gel & I'm back on shots for testosterone. The increase in propanolol has really helped with my tremors in addition to helping with blood pressure.

Overall good news, but still confusing.......
