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.
Yes
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
