Good morning 

my dad is on day 4 today of radiotherapy for prostate cancer 

he’s having difficulty passing urine , he said it’s painful and not much comes out when he tries 

we did tell the staff at clatterbridge yesterday and they said it’s common but not really this early on in treatment 

Iv told my dad to tell them today how bad it is as I’m concerned he will end up with a kidney infection if he’s not emptying his bladder properly 

just wanted to ask has anyone else had this during treatment 

the staff said he can take tablets to help which it’s looking like he will need 

thanks for any advise
