How this treatment impacted my life the most
I had a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and initially it does feel quite debilitating, but you will start to recover quickly, resuming most normal activities after about six weeks. I was doing heavy work at the time of my operation, so I took three months off work to recover fully. I now feel fully fit and knowing that my cancer has been completely removed, I don’t have that nagging anxiety of how it might develop.
Why did I give this answer?
Because I no longer have cancer and it was removed before it had the chance to spread, which would have lead to additional problems.
