How this treatment impacted my life the most

The treatments didn't effect me that much to be honest, only felt tired/run down on a couple of occasions.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

One of the consultants I saw, summed it up like this - due to my age, weight and health conditions, he would rate the options as 45% for surgery and 55% for radiotherapy. I therefore opted for radiotherapy
