How this treatment impacted my life the most

This treatment undoubtedly prolonged my life and I am grateful that it was both diagnosed at a fairly early stage and that it has been successful. There are lasting effects from it, however, and these can be difficult to live with. But that must be balanced against the fact that I am fortunate still to be alive and able to lead a moderately normal life.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

See my statement above.
