I finished Radiotherapy in early February following Hdr Brachytherapy and still often have rather disturbed nights 3-6 toilets visits have tried Solifeocin tablets even on an increased rate which didn’t work for me. I have now been referred for an intravesical iAluRil injection into the bladder for Radiation cystitis, has anyone experience or thoughts on this please?
