Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy procedures in Oct 2010 and Jan 2011.  Tumors were 10 and 13 cent dia.  Pathology confirmed both were benign. Since both adrenal glands were remove, I take hydrocortisone daily.

" Please stand up and be acknowledge. Brag all you want. If it weren't for this site I would have no knowledge about Cushings except for a picture of "me" in an old medical text book. The only thing in that book was a picture of a lady that could have been my twin and 2 paragraphs with some symptoms and the word "rare". Every doctor that I have met to date still uses that word. I appreciate and applaud you for all you do. Thank you. "
