Hormone Therapy (tablets)

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

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I was lucky to have a friend who had just been through it.He told me about the initial treatment requirements e.g drinking water before treatment.None of this had been explained to me beforehand.Meeting the same people for 7 weeks meant we had a bit of a "social club" at the hospital which made it a relaxed atmosphere.N B Make sure you get a biopsy early if you have a high PSA reading.It saved my life!!
