Thank you! There was quite a bit of useful info on Propecia to be
found. I'll pass this info along to my mom so she can discuss this with
the vet ASAP.

So, you think waiting until Oct. 1st is too long to wait?

And I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but it seemed that the hormone
(DHT I think?) that causes an enlarged prostate, was an indication of the
tumor being in the right adrenal gland. And it also seemed that liver
disease was mentioned alot in those posts.

Is there a connection between DHT production, the right adrenal, and liver
problems? Or did I just completely misunderstand what I was reading?

Thank you,
Jen
