Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Obviously having my prostate removed along with nerves to my penis meant the end of any sexual activity, and hence ended my relationship with my then partner. I found the 7 weeks (33 sessions) of radiation treatment very hard work...did not like at all 🙁

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Because at the end of the day I still want to live, and I was told by having the surgery it was my best chance of survival
