Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Persevere as dry orgasms are pleasurable.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I remained positive throughout my diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately the surgery was successful and apart from a few months of recovery and rehabilitation, I was able to move on with my life thereafter and am back to doing all the activities I did before.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Because I see it as a success. I remain cancer free thus far although I understand that periodic PSA tests are necessary.
