As far as weight gain, this is a common problem for many patients. I lost 65 pounds from rads 8 years ago. It took until just recently before I was able to gain anything back.
Many patients have thyroid issues post rads and take meds. Once the thyroid conks out thyroid levels are checked at least once a year and adjusted accordingly. This is a permanent condition which is easily managed.
