Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment
Help from spouse or close friend is desirable apart from clinicians
How this treatment impacted my life the most
Needing a catheter for several weeks after treatment due to urinary retention. Apparently this at the time of treatment happens to 10% of patients
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Why did I give this answer?
Was fortunate to avoid main side effects and generally less invasive than surgery or other options on treatment and little need for extensive exercise after treatment and able to return to fairly normal activities
