I am so grateful for your collective prayers and good thoughts in my post below. I wanted to make this a separate post as to be sure you all were updated appropriately.

So Karen has been preparing for surgery and for appointments for the oncologist. She actually works for the medical group that gave her this dreadful diagnosis.

She has since had all of her scans, ultrasounds, tests .. and it was discovered that there was at least one DR. that questioned it all. He asked why these tests were NOT done with contrast (dye). He said a diagnosis this serious absolutely had to be done with contrast. He was furious.

Who does this?!

So they did a repeat of all of these tests with contrast.
Not only does she *not* have an adrenal mass in her throat, but that she does not have the dreaded C word.

Karen and her family and Karen and I have just been agonizing over this. She was completely beside herself and so was I. We don't know what made them think they saw the awful stuff but there is a current investigation underway to find out.

Thank you hearts for all of your love and concern. I too, am furious, but more so I am grateful that she is going to be okay. they are thinking that her history of sinus infections since she was a kid is what she actually may have

My heart to all of yours, and Karen's to all of you, yes she knows, I told her.

*love*

    Wow, jus wow. Shocked but not surprised, people often neglect the value of staining. I'm glad the Dr. caught it, and if it is part of standard procedure then yes it should be investigated.

    Good luck, these days it's hard to say what is more dangerous to the survival of the human species, Artificial Intelligence or Institutional Intelligence.

    Sometimes people get impatient with contrarian physicians but they are the best people to have on your healthcare team. Very happy for everyone concerned that this turned out much better than expected.

    I'm sorry she went through it,but given the choice between errors of too few or too many tests, choose the later.
