I remember when working in an ambulatory clinic a man (patient)  who came
monthly for checks on a benign pituitary tumor and he was prescribed  daily
dose of Parlodel~ without it he leaked and had breast enlargement.
Now aren't you better off knowing that someone benefits from Parlodel?


I ,too,would be interested in knowing why this needs to be a surg procedure
at this time.
