Just had a CT again today to compare with last years. I’m in no big hurry to have one adrenal gland removed - when these tumors are cancerous they remove the whole gland.

It’s just barely OK if it stays the same size of a golf ball that it was, if it shrunk that would be a miracle ....that said miracles happen. doesn’t hurt to ask for one.

One scary thing about having a suppressed immune system is it’s a known fact it’s hard to ward off cancer.

My thyroid nodule completely dissolved two years ago after going gluten free which was a miracle in itself.

Wishing for you the miracle or, at minimum, no bigger growth.

None of my business but why not try fenbendazole to see if it may help resolve it.

Look at the Joe Tippens "mycancerstoryrocks". There are many people using fenbendazole as a cancer preventative

As an aside, I've been treating bart and cos with oral fenbendazole. I had an basal cell carcinoma on my temple, I mixed fenben with DMSO and applied topically for a few weeks - it went away. I still underwent surgical removal and they still found margins, but the external sore was gone.

And prayer does work.

Astro - Hoping it hasnt grown - and shrinking would be even better !

I think non cancerous adrenal tumors are quite common, right?

I went down that road pre lyme diagnosis.

I have not heard of that I’ll look into it besides eating super healthy the only non-conventional thing I’ve done for my adrenal tumor is taking Blackseed oil.

Thyroid nodules are pretty common and when they are cancerous is the easiest form of cancer to cure. Adrenal tumors on the other hand are a little less common but in the rare occasion that they are cancerous it’s one of the more lethal cancers there are. So yeah I’m kind of taking a chance by leaving That adrenal gland in me with such a big tumor on it.

It was discovered two years ago from a random abdominal cavity scan Looking for other possible gut issues.

The CT scan is two parts obviously looking at the size but then they also inject some type of Contrast in you that helps measure the density. They know what density it should be.

Thanks all.

This has been a source of anziety for me. I had every adrenal test there is for for tumor size, density and cortisol levels and "leakage" (hyper cortisol).. Guess im an adrenal expert now lol.

One cool test : the ability to manually lower cortisol overnight with an adrenal suppressive pill, with AM blood test before and after which still goes well.

Apparently just two decades ago, with lack of density testing and this being near the safe limit of size, the adrenal gland would have been removed. Good we have two of them, but stressing the one left doesnt seem like a normal life which I why I opted to keep it so far.

I'll sleep better now. A OK ,.....from these tests:

1)Per CT scan, the adrenal tumor has remained the same size and density for three years. Didnt shrink, but more importantly didnt grow any bigger than the golf ball it is.

2)My cortisol levels can still be "manually decreased" over night with the "test pill" .....which started with a "d"...forgot the name.

Edit/add: If the pill doesn't do this............then the adrenal gland is on "cruise control" by itself from a tumor.... or from Cushing syndrome.

Dexamethasone.

I took that pill and next day retested and all was good.
Had a CT scan anyway - to check for tumor

You remember it last time too ......your memories not that bad after all, that a hard one to remember and third time for me.

To save me a "covid trip", they first mailed the pill in one small mini paper envelope in another normal size one. It ended up powder going thru the mailing machines. Had to drive in to get the whole pill. You'd think they would use a small zip lock bag inside instead.

lol - it’s mostly my short term memory that’s bad.
Plus - my memory hadn’t gotten bad yet when I was doing the cortisol stuff...

It’s a tiny pill - stupid of them to not pack it better!!!
