Now, I'm not sure entirely about this, but don't the melatonin implants onl=
y relieve the symptoms of adrenal? Is that true with Lupron as well? I woul=
d think that since the adrenals have some kind of tumor (which could either=
be malignant or benign) that they should be removed fairly soon, if nothin=
g else to avoid possible metastasis. I know that you can't do the surgery t=
oo early because the tumor might not be visible yet, so I might have just a=
nswered my own question, but waiting for months seems like it might be too =
long. I would appreciate any input on this.
