Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment

I will say in my case you will get through it I had the added issue I have IBS so alot of my pain I think was IBS

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The radiotherapy was OK for about a week then side effect kicked in going to toilet 6 or7 times a night the pain trying to pass water was reaily bad all so passing just water out of my back passage was a big problem

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I did not have a option I did not not won't to die
