I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor in 86 and had further complications with it in 91. I was then put on test en to help also syntroid,cabergoline,cortisone. In 2002 my endo tested me after fasting and I was almost put in a diabetic coma to see if my body would make HGH on it's own. It did'nt. I was then put on HGH ,4 ius ED of upjohns somatropin. While I was on I did a # of steroids but never too many.Human grade too. I started having blood in my urine in oct 04 but I stopped shortly after it began. One day while I was working out in jan 05 I decided to piss and that looked like straight blood. I called the hosp imediately and went in too. They ended up sceduling me for a series of tests and gave me an antibiotic thatr would clear it up. The bleeding stopped in about a week,kept on getting clearer. I had gone in for a body scan and bladder exam and prostate too. It was may 05 when the Dr, told me I had a tumor on my r kidney that was 3'x4' and had to have it removed. On june 28th I had it removed cancer and tumor which had grown to 4"x5" and had a 9cm thickness to it. Would I go back on HGH ,no . Did my endo suspect it was the direct result of HGH ? He would say no but I think he knows it was a direct result of HGH. My kidneys were larger then normal.I think thats a clear sign of HGH involvement. It's too hard to prove that I was HGH. I think I will always suspect it though.Any lawyers in the house? It's bad enough that you fight for you country in viet nam but they won't do anything for you in the end. I was taken care of by the surgeons at loyola at the hines VA hospital.Those guys are great.
