Hi everyone, my husband had a prostatectomy in August 2021 , his PSA sat at 0.02 until October last year when it went up to 0.33 After a PSMA pet scan that showed nothing, it was still decided to have 33 radiation fractions on the prostate bed. pSA is now <0.02 so undetectable. However, radiation has unfortunately brought on uncomfortable side effects being constipation and cystitis
these being a constant shooting pain from the bowel that moves to the urethra . My husband was told this should calm down after three months after radiation but it is now 6 months , he has tried everything from movicol, bowel flush prunes but still battling .
I was wondering is anyone else has had these side effects and what was recommended . We feel the doctors are basically saying time will heal .
