How this treatment impacted my life the most

As an international hockey player, the hormone treatment deadened my competitive instincts to a degree. On the plus side, I think I became a more understanding husband , less confrontational .

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

It was the option suggested by my oncologist and urologist and I am still here after 17years.
