If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
Radiotherapy
How this treatment impacted my life the most
I had been on hormone injections for about a year when I started the 20 radiotherapy sessions over a week period. I could not distinguish any particular side effects of the radiotherapy over & above those I have already noted about the hormones. I forgot to say that most of the side effects of the hormone treatment didn't really come on until after 6 months & then they came with a vengeance.
If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?
Yes
