She tries, but they don’t totally live in the real world. Eat and drink what you can, when you can. I was so so sick and any advice was meaningless. It’s an awful time in your life that you have to figure out on your own how to get through.

I’m having Salvage Radiation to the Prostate bed very soon. I’m trying to figure out the best diet during those 8 weeks. I realize that a low fiber diet is recommended. I eat very healthy now with lots of vegetables salads and gluten free. So now to avoid gassy foods I’ll be eating not so healthy of diet. Any tips anyone can share.🙏thanks

Hello Doctor
My father is hearing some kind of noise inside his right ear, so we took a scan, the result
( Right ear: moderate to profound sloping sensorineural hearing loss form 500Hz to 8kHz (mixed component at 1kHz) with normal hearing at 250Hz
Left ear : hearing sensitivity within normal limits from 250Hz to 4kHz with mild hearing loss at 8kHz ) but he has no Diabetes.
And again I took M R I scan also
The result
(Considering the clinical history most likely diagnosis is an acoustic schwannoma of right side)
So what should I Do Doctor?
I'm waiting your reply?
