How this treatment impacted my life the most
Loss of sex drive is a massive issue. In some ways it brings extreme calm and contentedness, but on the other hand, it brings a sense of anxiety about one's partner and their satisfaction, and ability to cope with your apparent, and real, lack of sexual interest.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
Advanced prostate cancer was given a prognosis of 3 to 8 years, which when you are just 67 at diagnosis, is a shock to the system, and potentially devastating to one's family. If having regular injections and losing your libido is the price to pay for extending that possible 8 years to possibly 15 years or more, it is a price worth paying.
