How this treatment impacted my life the most

Only at the immediate point of post treatment. Wearing/using the catheter, but quickly dispensed with.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It seemed to me the best opportunity to rid me of cancer. At the age of 72, I was not worrying about having any more children. It fitted in with my life style, and enabled me to continue my life as normal. I am also aware that I was very lucky in terms of nerve sparing. This helped prevent incontinence issues and allowed me to have an almost normal sexual function.
