Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment
How much is due to the prostate and how much is due to pre-existing ME/CFS? Who knows!
How this treatment impacted my life the most
No! I have ME/CFS and it is impossible to separate the effects of having both simultaneously. But the fatigue I now have - mental,physical and emotional - is immense.
Why did I give this answer?
At the time only prostatectomy and radiotherapy were available locally. That ruled out the Brachy option as my Chronic fatigue couldn't cope. Nor could it cope with radio - hospital every day for 4 weeks, enema, and all the rest. So I had little choice. I think now I would go for the brachy stuff, as the effect on my sex life has been considerable - but is that age related?? Who knows!
