David,

What happened to you when your thyroid went south? I am ten weeks out and am still losing a little weight each week, although am eating, have shakey hands, get very light headed on occasion, always cold.
My family Dr is sending me back to the Oncologist to see if my thyroid was affected during radiation. My blood test came back very low in the THS department and I never had a problem before.
Do you think it is thyroid problems? I think my Dr said he believes it to be overactive?
