Hi, I am a 70 year old woman who had an adrenal tumor removed recently, and was informed I have ACC and the tumor, although removed, was very aggressive. I am to start the 2 years of Mitatone and am unsure of how this therapy will affect my lifestyle. I just retired and have 7 little grandchildren with whom I have been very involved, but from what I read the drug will compromise me significantly. Looking for comrades who are in this situation!

@pbouey Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. I don't know much about Adrenocortical Carcinoma nor Mitotane. Here are links from Mayo's website with information on ACC and Mitotane.

This thread has some good input from others with ACC. Did you find anything helpful?
