Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Live with it.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Anxiety - need to ensure I could if necessary find a toilet every hour or so.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Because I am satisfied with the success of the radical surgery treatment I received. Over nearly 20 years since, I have never required any further treatment for it.
