Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Keep trying it really is a case of use it or loose it. Sex is still as pleasant but it a bit different.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I was still working when I had the treatment and had to have six weeks sick leave to recover. I only get partial erections now.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

My cancer was aggressive and surgery left chemo and Radio therapy in reserve.
