How this treatment impacted my life the most

I was not prepared for feelings of depression concerning my sexual function and emotional relationship with my wife.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I think I am convinced that having the operation would give me a more positive future if the cancer were to return
