The adenoma was discovered accidentally during a CT scan to check out my pancreas. My mother died from pancreatic cancer and I’d had some suspicious symptoms. My pancreas appeared fine but I was concerned at the mention of the adrenal adenoma. No doctor has ever been concerned about that. Whenever I mention it, it is dismissed, as has happened with this last CT scan.
I know I seem like an hypochondriac now, but until the last couple years (after having Covid) I rarely went to the doctor.
I have had good and bad experience with many, many doctors in the last two years. Like you, some have brought me to tears, and I never return.
Yes, a referral definitely gets you in to see a specialist faster. But
I find now that even with a referral it’s up to me to make contact and set up the appointment. In years past the doctor’s nurse would handle that appointment while you were still in the office. Now, most everything is left to the patient. I have my husband’s help or I would have given up this fight a long time ago.
I hope you get the help you need.
