How this treatment impacted my life the most

I was lucky with no side effects with my radiotherapy and was happy knowing I was getting treatment to help rid my cancer

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I thought at times I was forgotten getting nothing treatment wise so when I got the radiotherapy by beautiful staff at the hospital for 1 month I was pleased and it was no problems
