Radiotherapy

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Regular attendance for treatment over a period of 4 weeks during the summer of 2022.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

The treatment cleared my tumour

Hormone Therapy (injections)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The frequent hot sweats which occur without warning can be quite irritating plus I wake up 2 or 3 times a night so rarely get a good night's sleep.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

Not sure if this is still necessary after the successful radiotherapy
