Hi All,
Saw Endo today...he seemed very nice.Asked for a full family history,medical history and symptoms.He then did a physical examination.He said he wants me to come back and have two more CT scans in 3 months and then 6 months to see if the adrenal adenoma has grown.
I then had some blood tests which were the following
Glucose
Renin and Aldosterone

and also urine tests
24hour free cortisol
24hr Catecholamines

And i see him again on the 8th September because he's on holiday for two weeks.

Will keep you all posted,

Dave.
