Thanks for the info guys,

homonculus, it is only a suspect microadenoma, in which the neuro specialist said I could have been born with and could be part of my genetic make up, he didn't seem to concerned at all at refered me onto an Endocrinologist as I was at the time, exhausted and run down just to rule anything out.

gignernut, I haven't spoken to a medical 1 AME yet although I have spoken with a class 2 AME, all parties involved including my GP Class 2 AME and Endocrinologist don't see any reason why this would go against me (My Endocrinologist is writing a letter to support this, although the Class 2 AME did say that they may want their own Neuro Specialist opinion which I guess is fair enough. I haven't officially been given an 'all clear' as I do have a follow up MRI and blood tests in February just to make sure there is no change

I'm just wondering now....

should I postpone my medical til then?

If I fail this medical because of this will it set off alarm bells for when I go for any commercial job?

Is it a possibility that I will never be allowed fly due to this despite me having no symptoms like seizures headaches blackouts etc as all my blood tests are normal,

Once again all your comments and advice is of great help,

Chris
