As above, Bit of a surprise but there you go. Anyway I'm on 2 years of Prostat and 20 Fractions of VMAT radition planned for early April. Had all the tests (3a) grade and needed the flow test to go forward. So I thought it was just going to be a formality but was'nt good enough for my Consultant. To be honest I think I messed up drinking nerarly 4 ltrs. water before my appointment which resulted in a slow extremely long flow on the test. Far to much I believe.
So I have been prescribed Tamsulosin/Flomax which should hopefully get me through my 2nd test in 4 weeks time.
Can ask if there are other people been on this and what were experiences. I.E was the treatment succesful.
Cheers Dave
Hello Dave (grandad dave274c0c )
I wouldn't be too worried about that - it looks like you have caused your own issues by drinking too much - it's speed combined with flow you need.
I've been on Tamsulosin for about 12 months now and it not only keeps me regular I do have a good flow. (If you read my journey I needed a TURP operation as my prostate had grown out into my urethra!).
Good luck in 4 weeks time - you will be fine.
Best wishes - Brian.
