They are going to have to take the whole right adrenal with the tumor. I hadn’t realized this.
The endocrinologist is also concerned that my Aldosterone is high and we need to make sure the left adrenal gland is optimal before excision of right gland with tumor.
Initially this had seemed an innocuous surgery, now becoming more complex with every scratch of the surface.
Aldosterone has ramifications for cardiac health. I am due to see cardiologist this Wednesday for review of heart readings and blood test readings.
I asked the endo if the cardiologist should be brought into discussion but he said more tests needed before.
Getting hard for me to follow on with all of this.
Went out for lunch with a friend yesterday and it was all I could do not to fall asleep at the table.
Waitress was an old highschool classmate.
We all looked much the same as when we were children.
But now – there is a heaviness to all of our eyes. A beautiful sort or weariness.
I am worried these new physical ailments might be the end of me.
I hadn’t wanted an end of me just yet. Was hoping for a renaissance.
