Good morning all,
I am about to leave for my 5th radiotherapy session and wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced any bladder issues so early on in their treatment?
Over the weekend I noticed that I am waking up in the night desperate for a wee, this is not like me at all. Then over the course of yesterday I started to get that feeling of early cystitis where you feel like peeing very frequently. There is no pain yet but a slightly uncomfortable sensation in the bladder/ urethra area. I ended up drinking a cystocalm last night as a precaution.
I will speak to the radiographers today but would be interested to hear if anyone else has had this. It seems too early for my bladder to be irritated and I am now concerned that it will stick around for my entire treatment, with no solution available.
I should add that I am starting my antibiotics today, which have been prescribed prophylactically for the rest of my treatment time, but I don't think this is a bacterial infection.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much
Jo x
