Deslorlin/ Suprelorin is ALSO under study as an adrenal disease preventative, so having
one still in after surgery should do no harm and might have good results.

If that med were approved for use here then we would use it in those with adrenal disease
who are not surgical candidates, preferentially over Lupron. It lasts longer, is more
affordable, and is very well studied.

Look into the numerous studies on the med, esp. those by Dr. Nico Schoemaker of the
Netherlands, and Dr. Robert Wagner of U. Pittsburgh.
