Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment

Codeine paracetamol.. I normally take one when I need to ...occasionally two

Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment

I have been working part-time and keeping myself as busy as possible rather than sit and dwell

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I'd previously had bladder cancer so I knew a bit of what is coming. Treatment was poor for me radiology was the cause apparently I am close to retirement so decided to go part time which helped..I'd like to go abroad but insurance with this disease is very expensive.. I have slowed down a lot

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I have no alternative it's advance prostate cancer so treatment is just to hold back the inevitable
