"I benefited from early detection and from a team of medical professionals who were able to explain what was going on and what the risks were in clear but detailed terms. I was able to make an informed choice and tackle this disease in a way that was relatively straight forward and non-disruptive. I would recommend the procedure. In terms of impact, it was far less than I expected."
