Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

The little blue pill

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I was mostly affected by 18 months of hormone therapy

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

External high beam radio therapy was not possible. I did not want prostatectomy and was warned that it would be a risky procedure given my age and previous medical history. I self referred for Brachytherapy.
