ursol Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know that I met with the oncological surgeon to discuss removing my right adrenal gland tumour and a lymph node that has been lighting up on PET. Although he wanted to make sure I understood this is not a cure and he could not guarantee whether or not the cancer will return somewhere else after the surgery he feels I should get aggressive treatment. Surgery is scheduled for January 14th. Because of the size and position of the Adrenal gland tumour he said the chance is 50/50 on whether he can do the procedure laporoscopically. He will try but said he may have to open me. I'm actually very excited to try this. Happy New Year to all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
