Tips and advice for any bladder or bowel side effects of treatment

Hard to say I tried everything, from not drinking after 6pm or very little but I was still going to the toilet 3 or 4 times at night.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Not being able to go out without worrying about getting to a toilet, being tired pushing yourself to do anything. Not having any interest in sex and hot flushes are a nightmare.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

I would probably say that I would have let the cancer progress I have hated the treatment.
