Hi - Thank you for replying so quickly. The mass in my mother's adrenal gland was small. The surgery was in January and that's when they did a biopsy. They didn't even think it was cancer (because of it being so rare). Then they told us it was cancer and assured my mother then that it was all contained in the gland. The doctor said they couldn't do another scan for 2 months after the surgery - so we waited patiently. It is this scan that has shown that the cancer is in her abdomen and her liver and her colon and her lungs and her kidneys (all in 4 months). They have told her that it is inoperable and terminal, that the masses are to big. She hasn't gone for a second opinion and I don't think she wants one. She is trying to spend her time organizing everything so my brother and I won't have to deal with too much. She just wants to spend quality time with us. I don't know whether to suggest she try anything else, as this doctor is one of the best in the province we live in. If you have any idea's or suggestions I am more than willing to listen.
