Hello becky02411 and thank you for posting,
Symptoms can be spotted at different times, whether at home or during a check-up, so it's important to speak to a doctor if you've identified any symptoms that you're unsure about. It might be that it's nothing sinister but it's still worth investigating to be sure. When it comes to adrenal tumours, some can be benign and other can be cancerous which is why it's help to speak to a doctor who can refer you to a specialist, if needed. You can find more information on Adrenal gland tumours on our website and if you have an medical questions, you can talk to one of our friendly cancer nurses on our free and confidential helpline. The number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.
