Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

Exercise daily, take multi vitamins with iron, I take evening primrose oil to reduce hot sweats, no idea if they work but I don’t suffer much.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Having to attend the round of blood tests and oncology appointments.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

My reaction to diagnosis was to “get rid of it” whilst with hindsight, some for of radiotherapy or brachytherapy may have given a better outcome, in that I am now living with prostate cancer despite not having a prostate.
