Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

I strongly recommend the pelvic floor excersise when you can remember to do them. I have been prescribed a low dose of medication although nor helping at the moment.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Lack of energy or enthusiasm to do things. Sexually wise fairly useless.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Look after my older husband wanted a definite end to the cancer hopefully.
