Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

Accept that these issues are far better than not having the treatment. The outcome might be extremely bad/terminal.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

it gave me a new approach to my place in the world. I am pleased that I went through treatment with great succes and have gained confidence.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

The operation was sophisticated and achieved 100% success. Others who chose an alternative are suffering to varying degrees. My cancer was discivered at a very early stage and there had been no migration. I was so thrillied with the outcome that I organised a fundraising concert with my rock and blues group to create a fund for paying for a student to learn how to use the Da Vinci Robot!
