So a CT Scan I did a few weeks ago led to an incidental finding of Pheochromocytoma. Because of the size of the tumor; I’ve been advised that taking it out is most ideal. It is however not an emergency; I am not exhibiting any symptoms of concern. I’ve just talked to the doctor about the risks with the surgery especially as if releases hormones during surgery and I’m terrified! Should I just wait..no urgency now right?

Welcome, @parve, hearing the risks of surgery is always terrifying because physicians are obliged to tell you all the potential risks (and rightly so). Did you also discuss the potential risks of not doing surgery or the benefits of surgery?
