Strange individual you talked with. Adrenal problems are so
responsive to surgery (and the meds when surgery isn't an
option help, too, though surgery is the way to go) that in 20 years
we have lost only one individual to an adrenal growth, and that
wasn't because it was adrenal but rather because it was
lymphoma that happened to settle there.
