Hi Maureen,

Ron lost about 45 lbs. He started out at 185 (he's 5'11'), which was a good weight for him, and got down to 140. He weighs about 145 now. I think Rod is just going to have to experiment with the different protein drinks to find one he likes. That's what we did, lots of experimenting. I also wonder if the radiation somehow changes a person's metabolism, speeds it up? Tell Rod to hang in there, he may be too thin, but at least he's cancer free!!

Take care,

Shelley
