Wow, that was really informative. Thank you so much Christine!

I will make sure to get the testosterone and thyroid hormone levels noted before the RT starts. Will also read up about it as to why these hormones are affected.

I also understand that in order to get advice on technical issues I must see the doctors and I do exactly that. However, people at OCF have learnt so much from their experience that I love to get your perspective and note down what all I need to tune my ears to when the doctor brings something up, or what all to ask the doctor.

I will also make sure that my father's calorie and water intake is sufficient. Will ask the doctor to recommend a dietitian who can give us the right diet plan.

Thank you once again. Take care! smile
