Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

It was more of a worry to my immediate family, but clearly it was a concern to me also although everything went very well considering.

It was a worrying time made worse by the conflicting and ambiguous answers I received to my questions, however apart from that there was no affect on my life.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Im sure I made the right choice of treatment in the end

I am sure this was the right course of action - having the cancer fully removed was very reassuring
