Hi all, Peter again. I promised an update and here we are. The Brachy went 'uneventfully' and after a night in hospital I was discharged. Back the following day (Wednesday) for the radiotherapy planning session. Then on Thursday the issue started. Couldn't pee. No matter what, just dribbles.
Eventually I was catheterised on Saturday morning (1.7 ltrs drained) and had that in a week. It was removed this morning and then replaced this afternoon because I still can't pee unaided. This one will stay in for a week and half, removed a week next Wednesday.
Just how this will affect the radiotherapy that is due to start next Monday remains to be seen, but I have my suspicions that it will have to be delayed until after the catheter is removed.
I know it's a known possible side effect of the process, but disappointment and frustration are two words I can think of! Still, I plod on and will get there eventually.
