Dadu has issues.

Dadu has a couple of tumors on his pituitary gland...one is bigger..like a jelly bean, one very small..He has seen a neurosurgeon, an ENT Dr. and now sees an Endocrinologist  next Friday...It effects a lot of systems in the body...The surgeon says lets watch it 6 months and see how fast it grows, the ENT Dr. says, shall we take it out now ?...he is the one that breaks the nose in two places and peels back the nose to access the area needed for the neurosurgeon to take it out...The pituitary gland is basically at the bottom of the brain behind the bridge of the nose,sort of  in the middle of the head.  It has effected his hormones and his drive so far.....ultimately it can bleed out, and/or cause blindness,....not to mention making our lives not the best.

So...this jelly bean size...is it a jelly belly jelly bean or an easter jelly bean?
You shouldn't stick jelly beans up your nose!
