They regulate hormones that control vital functions like blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism, growth, and fertility, and a host of other bodily functions we never even think about until they go wrong. Our adrenal glands are small but important.
Instead of removing my right adrenal gland, where the tumor was, he removed my healthy left adrenal gland. It took months of pain, anguish, and continual medical appointments for me to discover that the surgeon had made a terrible, irreversible error. There were days when I couldn't get out of bed. In fact, my condition, including the crushing fatigue, worsened. I was relieved that there was a solution and could hardly wait for the surgery.īut after the procedure, I felt no better. With a diagnosis in place, I was told that with a simple surgery I'd regain my strength, my joy, and my stamina - all of which had seemingly vanished. That was nothing compared to the journey that lay ahead. It took many months for doctors to consider the unexplained dizziness and lethargy I was experiencing as anything other than depression or baby blues. Making this discovery was a journey in and of itself. Nine years ago, shortly after the birth of my third child, I learned I had a benign tumor on my adrenal gland. Instead of seeking revenge and retaliation, I decided to forgive my surgeon. I've been left with medical issues for the rest of my life. I had a tumor on my adrenal gland that needed to be removed.
