Chemotherapy

Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Hormone therapy and chemotherapy keep me alive. Zero sex drive is an unfortunate side effect. You have to deal with it and accept life changes with cancer.

Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

Don't worry how others perceive you. Most have absolutely no idea what you're going through.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Chemotherapy left me wrecked. I had high dose for an agressive cancer. I felt unwell for months, and it's very debilitating.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

To be with my wife, children and grandchildren. To live life as best as I can in spite of cancer. It's taken so much from me, I refuse to let it take anymore.
