I get really freaked out very time shit like this happens, it accents my mortality in a most emphatic way and I don't sleep, don't want to eat - which is bad because I've already lost like30 pounds now unintentionally. Since it doesn't seem cancer is causing the weight loss, I'm turning to my Endocrinologist in hopes of finding a reason for the weight loss and nigh sweats. But having been through 5 or 6 cardiac caths - it gets harder and harder to recover each time I think I may be facing death.

Heart Attack
Hello everyone! This is another gloomy, non-rocket post. First off some possibly good news - my CT scans ALL were completely normal with no evidence of recurrent cancer anywhere. So why so gloomy? I had my second actual heart attack like 5 or 6 days ago - the Cardiologist thought probably overnight Tuesday. I thought I had taken too high a dose of my Korlym, which treats Cushing's Disease by suppressing the adrenal glands.Adrenal insufficiency makes one extremely fatigued, nauseated and so on but the Cardiologist saw that the anterior wall of my heart, in the distribution of the left anterior descending coronary artery, moving sluggishly. He popped open a 99% re-stenosed stent. That's a little close for comfort.
