How this treatment impacted my life the most

It allowed me to basically forget that I 'd had cancer

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

Lack of side effects. Certainty of outcome

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
