Well I go back for a follow up CT scan on the 15th, and another appointment with the oncologist on the 17th. Depending on the findings they may refer me to MD Anderson in Houston. Unfortunately since this cancer is so rare there isn't really a standard treatment, and only one drug specificly for ACC. It's called mitotane, and it's derived from DDT.
Hopefully the CT scan will reveal they got all the tumor and it didn't spread.
Fortunately I have decent insurance, and disability ins so financially I'm doing ok. Met-Life is pretty tight fisted with their disability payments though.
Not 100%, but I'm gaining weight back, (according to the pathology report they lopped a little over 6lbs. from my abdomen) and I drove yesterday for the first time since I was admitted to the hospital, and I went to the bank and got groceries all by myself! Tiring though, who knew a trip to the grocery store could be so... intensive.

I only just saw this news Loon.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Don't be overdoing things if you're not 100% - get any help you can! *waves finger in SL's direction*

I'm trying not to overdo things, but after a few weeks of being housebound one tends to get a bit stir crazy.
I've had a lot of help from some friends, co-workers, carting me to the doctors, and getting me some things at the store over the past few weeks. Someone even made me pecan encrusted salmon and tilapia. I should get cancer more often.

Glad you're getting lots of help from good people! I didn't want to sound like I was nagging at ya - I just remember the times when I've been ill, thought I was feeling stronger and then knocked myself backwards from doing more than I should have
... and grocery shopping is mentally and physically traumatic enough even when you are 100% lol!
