ACC , Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma
Anyone else recently been diagnosed/treated? I live near Seattle and seem to have great doctors at SCCA who "have a plan".
I had surgery then stereotactic radiation and now getting insurance approval for mitotane with hydrocortisone. Sounds like it is usual treatment. This is tier 5 drug so UHC only covers 75% . My cost will be just $200 a month. We can make that work, no choice.

Got my 6-month MRI and CAT scan done last week. Online results say no new tumors. Have telehealth visit with Dr, tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I am reading the report correctly.
I suspect that they'll be upping mitotane as that level is 8.6 and she wants it about 14 or so.
