Hello Katz, as the other have said it is such a hard decision and one that I think age does have a big part to play in. I’ve had one sct and then had DVD now I had to make the decision which I wanted and I looked to this forum for advice too as they are all so helpful. All I can say is as tough as I know the 2nd sct will be and the recovery period long I know that if I get through that at my age 55 It should be worthwhile. Maybe that may help you decide. All the best with your decision.
Just to add I believe sct will give your husband a more normal life and no side effects it just puts his body through intense stress which your consultant would explain fully and wouldn’t recommend if he didn’t think your husband could take.
Best wishes
Darren

Hi David
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thx for the reply. I’m finding that yes it is a life changer and it makes you re-evaluate your priorities. Although I’m in the early days of treatment I’m already finding how it affects everyone, fam and friends especially.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>It’s good to have these support forums with everyone to speak to as it helps to understand it all 1st hand.</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Thx again</p>
