Ian's Story
With being self employed and having to attend radiotherapy every day was difficult but got through it with early or late appointments
Yes
It was the only course of treatment I was offered and it worked for a very long time 15 years
It’s not a problem for me because I have no sex drive at all More of a problem for partner Needs to be discussed but we are getting old now and doesn’t seem to be a problem for us
Having to take tablets same time every day still catchers me out If you go out and forget to bring them with you or you thought you would be back in time can be a real pain
Not sure
Don’t think I had any choice really was offered chemotherapy instead but was working at the time so the tablets was the best option for me
Fatigue doing things like gardening or diy would wipe me out for a couple of hours Being very tired but having disturbed sleep waking up 2 or 3 times a night is very frustrating
Yes
It’s giving me a longer life with side effects you can cope with
