Roger Felipe, son of Cid Moreira, fights against pituitary cancer, pays for his pocket treatment and the fears are blinded if the disease advances
Roger Felipe49 years old, son adopted of the famous journalist Cid MoreiraHe discovered that he had a pituitary tumor, a small brain gland that controls various body hormones. Roger He said he started to suspect that something was not going well because he woke up more tired than he was going to sleep, even without making great efforts.
Many years have passed in this routine until a client of the salon where he works as a hairdresser suggested looking for a doctor. After several exams, he discovered that his prolactin, an important body hormone, was very high: more than 500, when the normal would have been about 25 years. This turned on the warning and made a resonance that showed the tumor, which already has over 1 inches.
“First very stress in life, with this group of processes, and then a lot of work. I work a lot, sometimes, 10, 12 hours a day. He was a client who indicated me to look for a doctor.”He said in an interview with the editorialist Fabia Oliveira.
The greatest fear of Roger It is that the tumor grows and presses the optic nerve, which could even make it blind. For now, it is taking drugs to try to reduce the size of the tumor and balance the hormones, but does not exclude the possibility of surgery if the situation worsens.
“I was worried. The pituitary regulates all hormones, even my testosterone was very low, everything was very deregulated due to this tumor. It was surviving in automatic mode”, said.
To worsen things, Roger He does not have a health plan and has beaten alone with all the costs and consultations of the exams. Even so, it is confident of the treatment and expects the drugs to have effect to avoid operation.
Now, wait for new exams to find out if the tumor is decreasing and, perhaps, it is free from this problem without having to go through the operating table.
“It is not big enough for immediate withdrawal. The idea with the drug is to see if it will decrease. I will remain the exams to see how they are after a few months of care. They are strong medicines, but I felt better. Now it is seeing how it is and if you need surgery, I hope not” finished.
