Hormone Therapy (injections)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Main impact of external beam radiotherapy was travelling to the hospital five days a week for eight weeks. The treatment itself was fine but toward the end of the treatment I experienced bowel problems these symptoms receded a few weeks after treatment. I do still have a minor issue with peeing.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Although the eight week session severely disrupted my week I believe it was worth it. I still have three monthly hormone therapy injections.
