Hormone Therapy (injections)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Being anxious of locations of toilets. Pain when passing water. Use of indwelling catheters and self catheterisation. Presently having bilateral nephrostomy.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

With the advancement of medical science re prostate cancer, surgery would be a consideration although incontinence is a concern. The radiotherapy and hormone treatment seems to have improved a great deal with less side effects
