Need more info: Hi. If you have Cushing's, which is physical manifestations of cortisol excess and high cortisol, yes, it's treatable. It must be determined if it's ACTH-dependent or ACTH-independent, the tumor localized, and the tumor resected (with a few exceptions in the cases of paraneoplastic Cushing's). After surgery, there are multiple meds that can be used for persistent disease. Good luck!
