Listen as Monica (Monicaroni) talks about the challenges she’s faced maintaining her music career while in testing and treatment. Monica was diagnosed with Cyclical Cushing’s. She had pituitary surgery in November 2006. An 8mm encapsulated pituitary tumor was removed. Since there was no post-op crash, she also had a BLA in December 2006.
Myth: “Men1 and Men2 are the only genetic causes of Cushingâs”
FACT: This is a Myth. More current research has explored multiple etiologies of Cushing’s. It was once thought that heredity had no influence on the development of Cushing’s Syndrome/Disease and our knowledge was once limited in this sense. Researchers have done more work in terms of exploring genetic factors in the onset of this disease. *~Robin Ess (Cushing’s educator and advocate)
The following causes for Cushing’s have all been explored:
1. Men 1
2. Men2
3. FIPA
4. CAH/BAH
5. PRKAR1A(protein kinase,cAMP-dependent, regulatory, type I, ? gene)
