Yes, it is pretty well certain that he has untreated adrenal disease.
The best choice is to remove the diseased adrenal.
If not possible then Lupron Depot AND melatonin implants should be used for the current

If there are beginning to be any signs of prostate enlargement but the surgery is
impossible then also meds for that.
If there are beginning to be signs of aplastic anemia and removing the adrenal is
impossible then also medds for that.
There are plenty of others to be found through the archives with resources and links but I
lack time and know these two have links and info that can be useful for you:
