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
