Thanks everyone for your responses to my previous post. All the informatio=
n was very helpful but now I'm a little confused on all the drug names that=
were used and hope it can be clarified.

Though Harry was given the DOCP shot, I admit I am unaware what this shot i=
s...can anyone explain it to me? Sukie mentioned Florinef and Percorten - =
are these drugs necessary on top of the DOCP or are they instead of? Also,=
can anyone point me to a good site on Addisons...I never expected to have =
a bilateral removal without prior knowledge (meaning I chose to have a 2nd =
surgery whereas Harry was opened up and unexpectedly was bilateral). And f=
inally one last question (and please bear with my lack of knowledge), can s=
omeone explain what it means when the right is cryo'd instead of removed? =
And why would cryo be better than complete removal?

Thanks.
