Adrenal malignant neoplasm assumed to be metastasized from lung cancer

@abob, I agree with Pam, this plan sounds reasonable and addresses your concern about waiting longer. The questions around your third statement, if the mass hasn't changed, may be clearer at that point in time. We tend to focus on the what-if, to prepare for what's coming next. I don't like surprises and like to be prepared too. I've had to learn to let go of some of that control, and to focus on what I know today. I don't mean to diminish your concerns at all, I just know how hard it is to get through this time, and how easy it is to get sucked into the worst-case scenario. Are you able to do things that give your mind a break from all of this?

Thanks for your reply. We too agree that this is the best course of action bc “most likely” lung cancer metastasis..

But surgeon and pulmonologist told us after clean around cut Lobectomy, he’s cancer free, no need for chemo or radiation.

However, we decided oncologist explanation re chemo for possible wayward cancer cells would seal the case.

We were surprised with CT, MRI, PET identifying new adrenal mass. And hoping that biopsy would confirm our course of action.

Now the concern is that cancer may not be over even after Adrenalectomy bc we don’t know if it is adrenal cancer which might be spreading now as we wait.

Sigh. Thanks for listening.
