My favorite male Siamese had a bad Thyroid Gland (don't recall if it was hypo or hyper). So, the vet radiated his Thyroid, which meant the cat was too radioactive to bring home for two weeks. Anyway, we got three more great years with him before unrelated kidney disease took him out.

As to our Crew's health issues: Good to hear you're all getting appropriate medical care for your conditions. I'd like it if you stick around.
