Tips and advice for any bladder or bowel side effects of treatment

Use the tamsolusion! Mind you, I'm cutting down atm to every other day to see what happens!

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Probably with the frequency of sometimes needing to P.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Tbh, I've been very lucky and was diagnosed nearly 10 years prior to having any treatment. It was discovered by me having a pain in my lower stomach, which had absolutely nothing to do with the cancer. My consultant advised me to have this treatment, and I trusted him 100%.
