@colleenyoung It's so strange looking back at these posts. Hard to believe it's 2023 and I'm still battling. All those theories and tests. Now as I sit here and look back at my journey it's unbelievable. This week I will be having my adrenal gland removed. All these years it's taken and hundreds of doctor's appointments and lots and lots of money on tests. Find out the tumor that was in my adrenal gland is actually a pheochromiocytoma. I will be heading to Florida to have it removed. I sure pray everyone is doing well. I miss you like crazy!
Continued prayers for you!
Dawn

Dawn!!! Hello. So nice to connect with you again (pun intended). The other day, a member asked why older posts remain on Mayo Clinic Connect. This is a very good reason. It can be helpful to see one's journey.

I'm sorry to hear that your search for answers continued during all this time. But, eureka, you finally have a diagnosis: pheochromocytoma. You may be interested in joining this discussion as you prepare for your trip to Florida and for surgery.

Do you mind sharing your surgery date?
