Hormone Therapy (injections)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Bit of a blow at first but then i am 76 so stuff happens. The biopsy was a bit of an issue for me as i do not like any medical procedues but again it happens so just get on with it, the hormone treatment was interesting the radio therapy again was interesting the after effects lasted a couple of weeks urgency to pass urine and not a lot of warning to open your bowels oth er than that al good

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

My younger daughter has worked in prostate cancer research for over 15 years and she was able to explain and tell me what can happen as the cancer proceeds if no treatment is carried out, so was no brainer for me so went ahead and bit the bullit
