I go Jan 8th for the Ctscans my ongologist is mad at me I cancelled 3 biopsies for the adrenal gland... if they grew I know I have to go they doubled in size in 4 months I can't believe no one has had this happen to them....thats a part of MM..

Janier,

I have no clue why your post hasn't been answered. This particular cancer is not my area of knowledge or experience. It's quite possible that you may be the first person to experience this particular issue for this type of cancer on the forum.

I do know that lung cancer can attack the adrenals also, but only know the term keyhole surgery is what applies to the removal of the tumor. It's supposed to be a tough surgery.

That's all I know about cancer and the adrenals. I hope someone does answer you and sorry I'm of little help.

Good luck and it's probably best to have the biopsy done.

God bless,
PBJ

Janier, I am very sorry about your MM. Like pbj, I am not too familiar with MM. My ex father-in-law died of it 6 years after his diagnosis but I do not remember much about it. I certainly do not remember him having to have his adrenal glands biopsied. I do encourage you to keep working with your own medical team. If they are recommending a biopsy, I would listen to them. If you think they are wrong or don't trust them, get a second opinion.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Janier, I did not hear you being mean... just concerned. I can totally understand.
