You are going to get thru this! We will help you as much as we can.

I wish I had been as good of a patient as I see you are. Im impressed at how prepared you are. Over the years Ive noticed a trend... the patients who get thru rads the easiest are the ones who focus on their intake. They push themselves every single day to hit those minimums. The most successful patients will take in above and beyond the minimums and they do that on a consistent basis.

Wishing you all the very best with your continued recovery from surgery. Eat as much as you can so you dont have any cravings going into rads.
