Dude, you've got the prayers!!!!!!!!World Citizen>
Interesting that you asked. Just had a whole round of testing done this last week. No one has said anything specifically but I (being the inteeligent researcher that I am!) looked up the tests and its pretty obvious that they are looking to see if that tumor is a "Pheo" (Pheochromocytoma) tumor....

> QUOTE: ...says Graeme Eisenhofer, Ph.D., a researcher in the Clinical Neurocardiology Section of the NINDS, and lead author of the study. "If the tumors are not diagnosed and removed, they can have potentially catastrophic consequences for the patient."... Pheochromocytomas are usually benign... The most apparent symptom, caused by the increased secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, is hypertension, or high blood pressure. This hypertension may be constant or intermittent. (*) Attacks may occur every few months or several times daily, and typically last less than five minutes. Physical and emotional stresses can initiate an attack. During severe attacks, patients may experience severe anxiety, headaches, sweating, apprehension, palpation, tremor, pallor or flushing of the face, nausea and vomiting, pain in the chest and abdomen. There may be a tingling, burning, or crawling sensation on the skin of arms or legs or urinary difficulties... END QUOTE

> (*) Interestingly, a test in Italy showed that 21% of verified Pheo patients never did develop high BP problems and that another high percentage had minor BP problems or fluctuating BP problems up until just a few months prior to surgical intervention. It was a study done Italy back in 1999 that involved almost 300 verified Pheo patients.

> And you are absolutely right. I am hoping - and praying - that these test result come back as showing this to be Pheo. We already know that the tumor is there and that all this anxiety and physical symptoms exist... now just need the tests to corroborate the connection - and, hopefully, away we go.....

No cancer has begun and I think with the clean living I've been doing for the last quarter of a century and my awarenes of herbs and antioxidants I think I'm not going to have to worry about liver cancer!
