Radical Prostatectomy (Surgery)

How this treatment impacted my life the most

Post operative - initially on hormone therapy which created mood swings from depression to extreme anger which affected my then family, I am now divorced from my family and had no contact with my youngest daughter since. I have since remarried but still experience extremes of mood,

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

The operation was supposed to clear the tumour, however I am now still with the disease having transferred to my lymphatic system. I'm now just waiting for the inevitable. If I'd known the outcome I would not have had the operation.
