Hi, husband aged 56 finished HD brachytherapy in mid January then 23 fractions of raiotherapy ( to nodes too). Previous diagnosis locally advanced prostate cancer, N0 T0 with gleason 3 + 4 = 7.
Question please all you lovely people - he finished treatment Tuesday but is experiencing waves of pain intermittently in stomach, bloated and urinating incessantly!
Is this normal? Thought please.
Thank you.
Hi Wispmydog,
When I finished my Radiation sessions in November I was peeing up to 7 times a night, flow down to a trickle (if you know what I mean).
Now, some 4 months later I'm down to 1 or 2 times, nearly on full blast.
Last month I actually stood up for a Pee, first time since October, like a child learning for the first time.
I couldn't wait to get home to tell my partner, "Guess what I did today?"
Anyway, enough of me.
I laughed when I read your last post. I thought it read "thanks for the Wet Blanket of Support".
My sense of humour is what kept me sane through this.
Best of luck. Things will improve bit by bit.

Hi Steve, I appreciate the humour God knows we need it!!
My husband feels the need to update me each day (:whilst walking our dogs early morning) with his vitals...bowels and wee reoccurance! I applaud but question how did we arrive here !
Every minute success applauded!
