Suggest Chance Of Survival With Adrena Gland Tumor

I just found out yesterday that my best friend (38 yr old female with 2 kids 10 and 8) has a 7 inch Adrenal gland tumor...that is sarcoma. she is scheduled for 5 wks radiation therapy starting the 14th and then surgery. The little I find about this is NOT good -is it true even if everything goes amazing with radiation and surgery that she might only have 5 more years???

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She has adrenal sarcoma. Prognosis depends on many factors like type, locatio, stage, spread and treatment.
She should go for radiation and surgery. If everything goes well then chances of survival is good. Its not like that she has only 5 years. So don't worry much about that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
