Adrenal adenoma

Hi I believe an adenoma is benign. I have a fibro adenoma in my breast which was biopsied as a precaution but was benign.

Continuing from my last post I have stage 3 follicular lymphoma and the adenoma was found on a ct scan and is not linked to the lymphoma. This was confirmed by two consultants

Hi my understanding is they are benign to and depending on the size this may inform what happens next and the only other thing I found is that most are inactive but some become active and will need treatment.

a quick search and this seems the best I could find to help explain for you

so when you see the consultant you can go informed to have your list of questions hope this helps

Thanks joncal

Still trying to get my head around it.  Hard enough to be told you have follicular lymphoma but then told you have adrenal adenoma as well.  I didn't know if they are both non Hodgkin's cancers.

Maybe they will do a biopsy but if it is usually benign then obviously I have nothing to worry about.  Less sleepless nights yehhhh.

Thanks John

It's a roller coaster as I couldn't understand what the consultant was saying.  I didn't know if they are both cancers under the non Hodgkin's label, or how I could be so unlucky.

I will check out the website. Cheers.

Hi Ruth

i know exactly how your are feeling! Last November I was given the news that I had follicular lymphoma, kidney cancer and possibly breast cancer all at the same time! My head went into overdrive and I imagined myself to be living on borrowed time. I didn’t know which cancer to worry about the most! Almost a year later I am still here and very well. My kidney along with it’s tumour was removed in January and there was no spread and the lymphoma is stable so I’m on watch and wait. That’s been heard to get my head around but now I can go days without thinking about the fact that I had and still have cancer.

Ruth the adenoma is not a type of NHL so in that sense the 2 are not linked, sometimes due to the nature of the checks other issues are found you may never have known about, a spinal stenosis and kidney stones were 2 of the gifts scans gave me.
