u/A_Refill_of_Mr_Pibb

I'd (43M) made a concerning comment at a family party, which prompted my brother to recommend I go to a men's clinic to get my hormones checked. Eventually I did, and among other results, my T-level was measured at 73.6 ng/dL, which apparently is pretty low and is a symptom of hypogonadism. I was given a referral to a hospital's neurology dept for an MRI, and they found a 3.6 cm pituitary macroadenoma, and part of it is encasing an area that if I don't treat it could lead to a stroke one day.

I almost wish I hadn't found this out, because I don't have a primary care physician, let alone an endocrinologist or neurologist, and nobody in Boston or surrounding seems to be taking new patients. It could be years more before I can get help for this, if ever.

I realize how much of my life has been affected by this, but I feel stuck now with this info, knowing I have this, and knowing I don't have access to the treatment that could help me.

Any advice?
