How this treatment impacted my life the most
It couldn't go on forever. I new from the outset that at some point i would require active therapy and the key decision was to opt for this at a time my cancer was still contained within the Prostrate. This occupied my mind alot what if we got this wrong what is the best active treatment for me. I was incorrectly referred for a number of procedures and i did worry that this error delayed me having the correct procedure and what the consequences might be.
Why did I give this answer?
Overall during this time the cancer had minimum impact on my life and i believed i was delaying at no medical cost potential more serious side effects of active therapy. I still believe this I would however take even greater ownership of my condition this would have avoided some delays I experienced in my treatment. I would also talk to someone who has had active therapy and what their worries were before treatment and what they thought about them now. As a result i think i would have opted for active therapy a little earlier
