Radiotherapy

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Time taken for appointments however the care and skills of the staff made me pleased to be there.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

What I have learned about the results and effects other treatments have had on people I know or have read about make me believe I am better off than them. I understand there are factors such a an insert to protect the intestines which make me even more inclined to stick with radiotherapy. The advent of proton beam therapy if available on the NHS is also a treatment about which I would enquire.
