Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment
You must do your pelvic floor exercises and I try to walk up to 10 miles per day.
How this treatment impacted my life the most
I had my Prostate removed on in October 2022 and it is not nice having to wear pads for leakage plus losing control of your sex life BUT I am alive and reasonably very well for my age and there are lots of people with bigger problems.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
I had to choose between surgery or radiotherapy, I choose surgery as it is alledgely a faster healing process rather than having radiotherapy. My first blood test results are showing 0.01 which I am over the moon with. Can I just end by saying to all you men out there, “if you have a problem peeing or worried about things down below, PLEASE get yourself to your GP”.
