How this treatment impacted my life the most

My sex life is now practically non existent. Otherwise I am really well.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

My PSA test has come back as 0.01 now for the last 7 years and I am still alive. My brother had his radical prostatectomy 6 weeks after me and he is still alive and well as well. Our Father died when he was 60.
