How this treatment impacted my life the most

The main issue is a recognition of your mortality and the need to remain positive. I have received amazing support from my family and the NHS throughout and this as given me the confidence to get on with my life.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I always felt the need to take advantage of the NHS support and a radical prostatectomy gave me peace of mind from the outset.
