Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

Just listen to your specialist personnel and definitely ask any questions you may have.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Not being able to have close contact with my grandchildren for the first few months because of the radioactivity of the implanted seeds.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

I understand that there are some less invasive procedures available but not yet fully approved and I might be tempted (knowing what I know now) to try one of those.
