			<description><![CDATA[Annette, If there is still some residual tumor left, you have to have your IGF and <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/HGH" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/HGH')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Hgh">HGH</a> monitored frequently, because if your levels are high, you probably need medication.  Please ask your doctor about this.  I am not sure about prolactin levels.  Take care, Mishyxx]]></description>
