How this treatment impacted my life the most
The hormone therapy has made it extremely hard to keep my weight down causing constant knee and back pain, my work (as a builder) has become impossible to undertake, the chemotherapy had a big effect for one week out of the 3 week cycle over the 6 courses I underwent, 5 days after each course I experienced severe pain in my spine that on one occasion hospitalised me, my second course caused a reaction so the process took 2 hours instead of the usual 1 hour, hair loss had an effect on my confidence and was a constant reminder that I was a cancer victim.
Why did I give this answer?
Because I put my trust in my oncologist and if she told me the only option to survive as long as possible was to receive the same treatment I wouldn't hesitate.
