adviceHi , im new my name is James. I would like to ask some advice. First off ive never been sick and didnt even have a Dr till recently , hence my dilema.
I presented to the er recently with symptoms of left side abdominal pain , pain with eating, and feeling like the food would not go down, and pain and weakness in my joints. They took four tubes of blood, and performed a ct scan of my abdomen. After a wait in an er room a dr came back and told me i had a tumor on my adrenal gland, and a cyst on my kidney. Since i had no dr , he called one and got me an appt. When i went to the new dr , the first thing they wanted was my 20 dollar co-pay. after that i filled out paperwork , name address , sex , and ins repeatedly. As i met the dr he asked why i was there , i told him pain in my side and thought he knew because the phone call. he then was like oh yeah , when was that . i told him the day previous , and he remarked seemed alot longer. I told him that they found a tumor and cyst on a ct scan, his response was , eh we arent going to worry about them , ill do a follow up ct in 3 months. At which point my jaw hit the floor and my eyes went wide. i said the er dr sent me to you so i could get a ct with contrast. he responded even if it is a bad tumor they are so slow growing that we wouldnt see changes for that long anyway. I responded well id like to know if its cancer or not . he then said well if it is cancer the only treatment is surgery anyway. I responded that was my hope if it was. I became pretty adament about getting the ct scan at which point he reluctantly wrote some things down and said he would have his receptionist make an appt , which i still havent got and that was 2 days ago. he also said he was going to order a gi scope. he gave me a paper to get some bloodtests , but from looking at site it has nothing to do with adrenal hormones , its a psa and a ck and some h pylori, what i would like to know is should i be seeking more agressive treatment , or a new dr. i would think if it is cancer , waiting is the worst thing i could do, any info or help appreciated , thank you.
Re: adviceAdrenal cancer is a very rare cancer which can result in an increase in hormone production and are referred to as functioning tumours. Others do not produce hormones and are called nonfunctioning. The symptoms are reliant on whether or not the tumour is functioning or not. Almost all of the tumors associated with the adrenal glands are benign but there are roughly 1% that are not.
