Tips and advice for any bladder or bowel side effects of treatment

Been advised to drink Peppermint Tea . Early days to know if this will help alleviate flatulence and bloating. Also to try sitting whilst urinating .

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The loss of energy . My bowel and urine regime changed dramatically once treatment began . Constipation and urine flow, burning sensation when passing urine makes for sleepless nights .

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I have been told that the hopeful prognosis will be curative.
