CAT scan was a week ago today. No word yet. Thing is, i'm very symptomatic, and I make nearly no cortisol. When my urine test resulted in adrenal tumor indicators, they set me up for CT. My first appointment with Dr. Meir is March 13 (endocrine specialist). 10 days after starting the dried adrenal gland my cortisol was up to a 13 from 0.6. Range is 4-22. My cortisol is why I get into trouble with anxiety attacks that have resulted in MI's. I am very hopeful that DR. LAM and her team will have some answers. I suppose if the tumors are found, I'll have surgery since I'm symptomatic???? Thanks guys.

Hello again @lisanewell68

I'm so glad to hear that you will be seeing an endocrinologist. That sounds like it will be a good place to continue this investigation. You mentioned having a MI, are you referring to a heart attack or something else?

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you keep posting with your questions or concerns?
