Awwww thanks everyone xx
Hi, Wombat -- This one is down my alley. I recently was diagnosed initially with an adrenal "mass" after I got my own CT scan and MRI done due to a pain in my abdomen. I went in for surgery to remove it (the adrenal gland), and it was noticed the mass wasn't on my adrenal gland at all. It ended up being a paraganglioma. It is a very rare turmor and in most cases -- like 97% of them, surgery cures it (although for now I have to have some further testing done, and be watched for a bit to make sure that was the only one -- joy!). Sadly, I had to lose a perfectly healthy adrenal gland to this thing, but like with Cushins, once it is removed, you are cured. That's good news. Has it helped in my anxiety? I don't know. There have been moments I have suffered, but that could be post surgical stuff (it has only been 8 weeks since my surgery). Maybe in 6 months I'll better know. Wouldn't that be great, though??!! I would love to live life free of anxiety! :) My best to you and please keep me posted!! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me. Hugs, Wiskers ~
Good luck x
