Dear Diary,
After I got home from the doctors everything absorbed of what he said. He mentioned that I have high HGH levels due to a tumor on my anterior pituitary gland in my brain. This condition is known as Acromegaly, and he explained that the most logical way to get rid of the tumor is to have surgery. After getting the surgery I will still have to inject Sandostatin every 3 weeks but it means that my levels of HGH will stop being so extensive. After my surgery I will also have to undergo radiation treatment. I am sad because i know that my unusually large body structure will not disappear. However it will lessen, and this surgery will prevent me from growing more than i already have.

JR got out of the doctors office and drove straight to his parents house. He needed to tell his mom the news. He felt a rush of emotions, scared that he has a tumour but relieved that he found out about it before it was to late. After he arrived at his parents house he sat down with his mom and sipped his tea. After explaining the situation to her he sat waiting for her reply.
"So you have a tumour on your pituitary gland in your brain? and because of this tumour you are secreting to much HGH into your bloodstream?" She looked very worried after JR nodded his head.
"Yes mom, but theres nothing for you to be worried about, i thankfully caught it in time and am going to have surgery in a few weeks to remove this tumour. Im just happy that i can stop stressing about why i look the way i do."
JR sat and talked to his mom for quite some time, but eventually it got late and he decided to make the trek home. His mom hugged him and told him she was glad he was going to be okay. As he drove home JR let everything sink in. He was glad that everything was going to be okay, but nervous for the surgery. He had to undergo radiation treatment afterwards, so it would not be an easy process. However it will be worth it, JR will stop growing extensively, and his big structure will lessen due to the fact that his soft muscle tissue will shrink. It may be tough but at least he will live, and finally be able to move forward with his life!
