Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

It is now 8 months after my surgery and things are now starting to improve for me

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The biggest impact has been on my sex life, going from having an active sex life to nothing during the last 8 months. also leakage can be a problem during the night.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

the alternative would have been a life of worrying if the cancer had spread ,With this treatment and course of action even though it is not a 100% that all the cancer has been removed i have a greater chance of being clear.
