Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

The breast sweling was not the result of the operation but from the testosterone inhibitor which I received for 2 years post-op.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Erectile dysfunction

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I wanted the best opportunity to be completely rid of the cancer despite the impairment to sexual function. 14 years afterwards, my PSA is still undetectable.
