I'm at the end of my first week of EBRT. Problems caused by bladder inflammation led to me being catheterised late last night in A&E.
Question: I've been on Tamsulosin since September 2025. Is it wise to take it while I have a catheter?
I will consult my Macmillan key worker, but I want to draw on first-hand experience if I can.
Thanks,
Chris
Hello Chris
I can’t answer that question as it’s medical advice so you need to speak to your team.
I did have a catheter for 10 months so I know how you feel. Remember however you feel your team are on your side and take their advice.
Best wishes - Brian.
