Not true, if pheo is secreting excess hormones prompt removal is necessary. Mine is secreting high amounts of epinephrine, norepinephrine and metanephrines are through the roof. Mine is located inside the medulla and entire gland needs removal.

Anxious, but always feel that way with all these crazy hormones. Scared, risky surgery. But have immense faith in my doctor and his team.

I had my right adrenal gland removed in 2023. I was sore for a few days but got back to a normal routine fairly quickly. Sending positive thoughts your way
