Hi,
59 yr diagnosed with Pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. The doctors are trying to find somewhere that does an MIBG scan, so they can see where it is located.
Adrenal glands where clear on CT scan.
Not much information on metastasis I guess it’s a wait and see. I’m bit nervous.
After reading about others on here I feel fortunate at this time. Sending all my prayers and positive energy to all of you.

I was wondering if anyone has had this tumor and what was that like in the treatment of it.

Thank you
