How this treatment impacted my life the most
The biggest issue that i have experienced since having the treatment is getting up through the night 3 to 5 times to have a pee. this means very interrupted sleep and continual tiredness. if I go somewhere new or am travelling, then I have to make sure I know where the nearest toilet is, as I cannot wait long between feeling the need to pee and having too. I also had a 6 week period of dizziness, where I couldn't drive and often felt sick. Apparently this was probably the side effects of the pills to improve the flow.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
Although the side effects are disruptive to my life, they are fairly minor compared to other treatments or the cancer getting worse and spreading.
