Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

You have to be innovative and take your partner's needs into consideration too.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Unable to enjoy full sexual relations with my wife and inability to get an erection.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It has been relatively straightforward and has removed the cancer entirely from that part of my body. The impact on my sex life has been manageable.
