I finished my radiation treatment on July 10th, 2003 so I'm almost 7 months "out". I had my surgery on April 16th, 2003.
My whole family has started the Atkins diet and seem to like it. My husband bought this monster looking workout center and the younger ones think it's a jungle gym, lol. I have very athletic children so it gives us something to do as a family and at the same time keeps them all healthy. I used to be able to out do anyone in my house, sure will be happy to get back to that point!
Brett, I have read some of Mark's posts on here about the thyroid problems and they make great sense. I am going to ask my doctor about it on Tuesday.
Take care everyone,
Minnie
