Dr Ciezkis recommendations for course of treatment was even better than I had hoped for. I have been concerned about side effects of Hormone Therapy i.e. Risk of Diabetes and muscle loss / weight gain. Being able to recieve treatment without the need for hormone therapy is good news.There is obviously still difficulties ahead.
