So, we wait. In April she will have an other abdominal CT; there is a new type of scanner, a 320 slice, and we have located one in the Bay Area, only a couple hours from home. In the meantime we hope the weight gain abates, she tries another round of Ketoconazole, a drug that can reduce cortisol (but that she have had no luck with in the past) and we pray that a target appears on the next scan.

It's Back...
We spoke with Dr. Friedman this week and he confirmed what we already knew. Alex is producing cortisol, yet again. She had both a pituitary MRI and an adrenal CT recently and both came back clear. As much as that sounds like good news our Cushie friends know this is not. Without a surgical target nothing can be done.
