I saw a new doctor last week. He is a neurologist, but only practices part time due to other obligations. He spent over 3 hours with me going over my medical history from birth to present. We talked about how long I went before I was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease, but how pathology from my pituitary gland never showed a tumor. He mentioned carcinoid tumors, and we talked about how many times that has been mentioned, as a possible cause to some of the strange symptoms I've had over the years since my adrenalectomy.
There have been a number of abnormalities on imaging studies in the last 2 years, so we went over each of those. His hunch is that I do have a carcinoid tumor, and it's probably in/near my residual thymus tissue that recently showed some enlargement.
I am looking forward to working with him over the next few months to try and find a cause for the shortness of breath and fatigue.
