Tips and advice for any mental and emotional side effects of treatment

Having someone to talk to

How this treatment impacted my life the most

ED wasn't a problem to us,glad to still be here with family after9 years.

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

Not sure

Why did I give this answer?

My cancer was 9 years ago. New and perhaps better treatments I would have to consider.
