Hormone Therapy (tablets)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The tablets haven't really had a massive impact on me so far. I've been taking them a month today and have more to go and then more treatments to come after this. I have noticed thought that I have been more tired and get tired easier. Not sure if this was a coincidence or a side effect.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

As above - taking a tablet is easy and it's the first step for me to getting this treated. I've been told that it's treatable, but not curable, and I have full confidence and trust in my consultants.

Chemotherapy

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Tiredness, memory loss, brain fog and hot sweats.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It's the right thing for my condition. The side effects are minunal in comparison to doing nothing.
