Maria Kanellis’ Health Status & Adrenal Gland Mass Surgery Update
As noted before, Maria Kanellis announced this past July that a mass was recently discovered on her adrenal gland and she is currently scheduled to undergo surgery this September for retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy.
Kanellis provided an update on Twitter on Wednesday stating that she has started to get some answers regarding her current health situation following the results of some of her medical tests.
“Just got some test results back… from what I can tell my adrenal mass is hormone producing. I’ll get a more clear picture on September 3rd. But, one of the symptoms of the over production of a particular hormone was hands and feet tingling which has been something I have been trying to figure out for months!!! I’m hopeful that this surgery will take care of some or all of my symptoms. Anyways I’m having this drink because Mike is back and I’m starting to get some answers.”
