Take it out: First you have to figure out if it is a secreting tumor. For example, there are certain adrenal tumors called pheochromocytomas that secrete adrenaline. So if you try to take it out without knowing this, it can cause a hypertensive crisis. In my opinion it should be done by a surgeon who does this a lot. Good luck. Hope this helped.

Surgery: Your tumor has to come out surgically. A work-up to determine which hormones your tumor may be making has to take place first. Knowing what it makes will be very helpful in terms of compensating medically for the hormones before it comes out. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
