Son in law got a tough diagnosis. Stage 4 adrenocortical carcinoma. Started chemo immediately. Step by step now. Need a miracle. If you ever had a wisp of faith, please pray for him, my daughter, their daughter and his physicians.

Awful to hear. 🙏 Prayers up for all of them!
Was this a sudden development? I consider myself to be very dismissive of medical care unless absolutely necessary, but these unfortunate occurrences make me think I should be more proactive.

Very quick. Headaches and tummy pain sent him to a minor care center, which disclosed dangerously-high BP, and testing showed tumors on adrenal gland, liver and lungs. Started chemo immediately. Need it to stop the growth and buy time for next step.
Fcking hell. Praying hard floor. Praying hard. I’m going to lose my pop here in the next few weeks to colon cancer. He’s not young like your sil so different world but this fcking cancer. That’s where our money needs to go. Fix this shit!!!!
So sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family.
Looked it up. Tough diagnosis but not hopeless. You, your daughter, grand daughter and sil are all in my prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. There’s nothing that prepares us and there are no words that provide true comfort. Just know you have all of our support, prayers and a place to let all that’s inside of you out. We’ll be with you every step that you need. Best to your son in law and the entire family.
Sorry to hear about this MTOTF--will be thinking positive thoughts for a recovery and for your family's strength
🙏 from GA. Did he have any warning signs?
For those of you who have not had annual medical checkups, please let this be a warning.
At least consider blood pressure checks at drug stores/grocery stores, Cologuard at age 40 (or as early as insurance will pay) and annual blood tests/lab panel.

Will say a prayer for him and your family...
Have him hang tough.
Its amazing what ones body can endure.
-Prayer is the Key-
I've gone through multiple rounds of Chemo, Trail Drug Regimes, Radition and cutting edge gene therapy and I can still whip my weight in wildcats (but I dropped 32 lbs during treatment 😉)... and am still breathing... (because I had so many friends and family members Praying for me).
My personal prayer has always been simple: "Your Will Be Done"
That's saved me in the middle of an avalanche, in several lightening storms tied to wet ropes on mountainsides, and in hospital beds when I thought I was close to the finish... It might help him too...
// Have them watch out for potential kidney damage from a combination of low blood pressure and the Chemo they'll feed him...
Radiation Therapy although scary to consider can be so specifically targeted this days as be very helpful... I should have added it to the mix sooner rather than later... You just need to seriously consider the side effects relative to what's being irradiated... //
Sorry, probably too much info... Just thought it might help...
My prayers are with him...
Of course. More prayers from Georgia In med practice for 25 years and have never encountered this.
prayers to your family, seek the best care, Cleveland clinic literally saved a loved one's life when the locals pretty much gave up.
Generalizing but md Anderson will go beyond what many will if you can get our system to cooperate
