Hi,
my 14 yr.old daughter just had a CT Scan of her abdomen/pelvis this morning.
They said they were looking at her adrenal glands, kidneys, ovaries & anyhting else that may tell them something.
She is 14 yrs.old, she started her period 2 years ago & has only had 3 periods since then. She has hirsutism(sp?), alopecia, dull stomach aches, acne, mood swings (beyond normal for a teen). Her pediatrician finally referred us to a pediatric gynecologist & we had alot of blood work done & an ultrasound.
The ultrasound looks "pretty normal" they won't expand on that anymore
her labs are high though
DHEA-S 640
17 OHP They just said it was very high
& Prolactin they said was very high
I don't know what any of this means...I'm scared to death it is some kind of adrenal tumor.
They did more blood work this morning: a BHCG Quant Marker, PRL, & another 17 OHP...the lab tech said these were "tumor markers".
Sorry I spilled my whole story, I don't know where to go for info.
Thanks, Mary Caye
