| Introduction | I am a pituitary Cushing's patient who has dealt with Cushing's symptoms and the aftereffects of pituitary surgery since 1983. Because I had very little support for my symptoms, diagnosis and surgery, I decided to try to make things a little better for other patients and started a support site called Cushing's Help and Support in 2000. The site has grown to astronomical numbers. This disease isn't as rare as doctors have told us! In 2006, I was also diagnosed with kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). My left kidney and adrenal gland were removed. Having an adrenal gland removed complicates my post-Cushing's symptoms and prevents me from taking medications that could help with some of my symptoms. I am not planning to have any more rare and unusual diseases. My entire bio to date can be found at http://www.cushings-help.com/maryos_story.htm |
