How this treatment impacted my life the most

Diagnosed with prostate cancer in July 2019. Further tests revealed lung cancer in October 2019, very early stage and I’ve never smoked. Put on hormone tablets for prostate cancer while focus was put on treating my lung cancer. Had upper right lobe of lung removed in January 2020. Prostate treatment was due to resume in May 2020 but everything put on hold due to covid. Eventually had prostate removed in November 2020.

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

Yes
