How this treatment impacted my life the most

Being less active, going on holiday, days out, feeling confined to my home a lot, being close to a toilet, hot flushes, and lastly not feeling like a man anymore, Prostate cancer has robbed me of my life in retirement, I feel so sad about that.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

You have to trust the health care professionals, they know what they’re doing, and what the best treatment is for each individual.
