First of all, please let me thank everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. I also wanted to give a quick update on my situation just to let everybody know how things went this morning. The doctor confirmed he received results for all but one of the tests done last Friday. All tests so far indicate the adrenal gland tumors do not appear to be producing hormones but are INCONCLUSIVE on if the tumors are benign or malignant. The one remaining test not back yet is only hormone related, so it will not provide the answers we are looking for either. The next step is to submit to a special CATSCAN of the adrenal glands for which the doctor wants to wait till around the third week of October. The delay is to space out radiation exposure (I had a multiple exposures from my initial hospital visit) and to see if any rapid tumor growth can be detected. I was also told that these tumors have to be monitored for at least 4+ years as well even if they are eventually found benign at this time. So I am not completely out of the woods even with a good CATSCAN but I’ll take any win I can get at this point. So, this has turned back into a waiting and patience game for me and I plan to take one day a time and try not worry about something that I have very little control over. Take care all and I hope you have a good week.
God Bless. John
