Re: Little Katrina Has An Adrenal Tumor (possibly a functional pheochromocytoma)
Hi Candy,
The only case I can think of right now where the pup was treated medically is Nikki, but I don't think her mom, Michelle, has made it here yet. Nikki was treated with Lyso for over a year and did quite well.
One thing I want to mention to you...an IMS is not a surgeon. They don't have the education or surgical experiences that a surgeon does, tho they are specialists. Before I decided against the surgery for Katrina, I would talk with a board certified surgeon who has several adrenalectomies under his/her belt. An experienced surgeon is the only one who can tell you with any degree of accuracy whether she is a candidate or not and whether surgery could offer a cure for her.
I'm glad you liked the new IMS! The first one we dealt with was awful. I really like the one we use now, tho.
Hang in there! You are doing a wonderful job for your baby.
Hugs,
Leslie and the girls
