First EHBT

CFC,

I had 3 out of 20 sessions where gas was a problem so went out to walk it off.

I don't think the enemas helped as I never needed them as I had 'been' already. I had to give them up part way through as they caused terrible burning that persisted for weeks..

You do get better at planning the drinking water and planning to get the bladder optimally filled.

They gave 300 mls of water at my unit half an hour before going in for RT which seemed to do the trick on most days. I used to do a couple of thousand steps after drinking the water to help clear any gas.

The staff did say not to be worried about being sent out as it happens to almost everyone.

Thank you so much for you reply it means alot 

Hi Cfc,

Whilst I didn't have any problems with gas, on 3 occasions I did have to drink more water before the treatment went ahead.

It's important that you are properly hydrated before you start the prep, so make sure you are drinking enough water before you even get to the hospital.  This ensures that after you have emptied your bladder / bowels that the water you then drink fills the bladder to the right level.  

Once you get into the routine it should be much easier.

Best Wishes

Brian

Thank you i travel 25 miles before i get to hospital i will try and plam things better noe

I had a similar length journey so carried a plastic container in the car with me just in case I needed to stop for a pee either going to the hospital or heading home.  Traffic delays meant I did have to make use of it on 2 occasions (once going & the other coming home) & had to pull over & sit discreetly in the back of the car - thankfully those windows are heavily tinted.

That container gave a lot of reassurance :)

Nice one 

Good move, I also did that.

It's just a good job I didn't have to travel by bus.
