OK, another country heard from. We know that not all adrenal tumors are malignant, so it
looks to me like she's saying that in those cases where there is a nasty rebound, the tissue
was mailgnant--possibly because the tumor was just malignant anyway, and possibly (and
this part is more interpretive on my part) because the fact that surgery had been done led
owners to believe they were safe. They therefore allowed the tumor to becaome malignant
by not starting medical treatment as soon as they should have.
This doesn't mean to me that surgery, or surgery then timely lupron would be a problem.
Surgery, a too-long wait, and then lupron when it's already too late to for pituitary
affecting drugs to do any good anyhow--THAT would be the problem. What I'm not clear
on is exactly what it would look like to avoid lupron "late in the disease after surgery."
Does that mean to start the drug right away after surgery, or maybe to start as soon as
symptoms show? Or what?
I know at least one person who is using her own interpretation of this study to justify not
doing surgery at all. Not that she was doing it before the article (she wasn't) but now
there's a far, far greater degree of self-righteousness about the whole thing. And the
lupron isn't happening either, but is being checked into. I don't think she's the only one,
and this scares me. If the findings aren't ready for prime time, why are they out there?
