I losing my mind, or could this be happening again;
and to his cagemate? Are there any studies on this?
Also, Lucy has insulinoma; if she is adrenal, what
complications can the surgery do?
Certainly his cagemate can develop it too, but whether it's because
they're
cage mates is doubtful. More likely it's just coincidental timing.
From my
point of view, insulinoma as well just makes surgery more and more
the right
choice, as my preferred method of treatment for both disease is
surgery if at
all possible. Complications should be minimal in an experienced
surgeons
hands.
