glad to hear everything is good, and wow 40k yawn.gif
hope your wife has a speedy recovery !
How is she doing so far ?

I recently found an adrenal mass, near my right kidney , i got diagnosed at SJMC since i live in subang so is quite convenient.
Now just waiting to find out what kind of cancer i have.

Test , scans and biopsy cost a bomb -.- , hopefully no more inconclusive results =/

No insurance card covered? Last time I went to SJMC for endoscopy also. Quite expensive. But fortunately covered by company medical card.

Thanks, she recovering well. Only complaint is tightness and some swelling on the wound which is normal. I'm sorry about your case, just be positive.

Doctor may require you to go for MRI, if you have a choice, take the MRI at KL sports medical centre. My wife went for a total of 3 MRIs, 1 at Pantai Hospital, 1 at Sunway Medical and last one at KL Sports Medical. As according to our surgeon, the first 2 MRIs was not good enough due to poor resolution, the one from KLSMC is the best. High resolution is needed as surgeons needs to know where tumor is sitting and if there's a clear margin etc.

If we know earlier, we wouldn't have wasted 4K for the 2 MRIs. MRI for her neck at KLSMC cost around 1.7K.

In the progress of seeking treatment, we have visited few hospitals. IMHO Pantai Bangsar Hospital KL is the best based on our experience. Sunway Medical gives us the most headache due to lack of coordination and time wasted, we won't use this hospital again. Also visited Price Court and Gleneagles, not much comment as only short consultation.

If yours is Adrenal Andenomas then chances of non-cancerous tumor are high. Consult a specialist or you'll be referred to several doctors before finding one that know what's going on.

Do keep us posted, stay positive and brave the battle.

SJMC is pretty pricey , test and scans are expensive enough already, cant imagine the actually operation or treatment .

Will do my best to stay positive smile.gif
