As we are wrapping up adrenal disease awareness month, we are meeting Dawn from Kansas City, MO. Dawn has suffered from Cushing’s Disease for close to two decades and has undergone two failed pituitary operations, brain radiation to the pituitary and medical treatment. She came to the Carling Adrenal Center for a bilateral adrenalectomy because of “failed” Cushing’s Disease.

At the end of the video, you'll see a photo of Dawn’s adrenal glands after removal. The operation lasted about 15 minutes on each side, meaning about 30 minutes for both adrenal glands.
