Tony, now you are a
pro since you have the first one behind you. Most people are afraid of the unknown. Now you have a glimpse of what rads means to OC patients.

Please pay special attention every single day to your intake and push yourself to take in a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water every single day. Even when the going gets tough, let that be the bare minimum you take in and you will get thru rads easier.

Good luck with everything!!!
