Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment
Been offered tablets to help with erections...When I'm fully recovered, will start taking them. Speak to your surgeon or GP about it...
How this treatment impacted my life the most
Was a very fit agile 62 year old, with a high sex drive. Fitness and stamina is quite low, as is sex drive, 0% 3 months post Op.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
Had other options of hormone treatment. Wanted the cancer completely removed. Also had a suspicious lymph nodes show up on MRI scan, wanted that out too... Turned out during operation with robotic di Vinci procedure, I had 16 lymph nodes which didn't show up on the MRI scan. Glad my Surgeon was inside me and able to remove them....
