Focal Therapy

Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

The localised treatment, I opted for, meant that I retained most of this function.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

I had to have a catheter for a while but more or less back to normal when it was removed. I had a period off work, at the time, and decided not to delay retirement.

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I was assured I was suitably for localised therapy, but I do now have a recurrence on the opposite side.
