URINATING AT NIGHT

Hi Craig

Have you been put in touch with the incontinence nursing service in your area?

I found their help and support following Prostatectomy in Nov 2017, invaluable?

It is not clear if your Dad has problems throughout the day? 

Eventually I was equipped with what I found to answer my requirements and it is only recently that the disease has spread into my skeleton and somehow this has affected my continence through the night !

I hope this is of some help.

Hi

The toilet thing is very common, but can get a little easier over time. As a stage four I know how that feels. The swelling on the legs I would see your doctor as soon as you can, make sure nothing is happening. 
Stay safe

Hi Craig

I have also had the problem of my ankles and calves being swollen, also considered moving my bed to the bathroom at night I know how your dad feels.

I went to see my GP who diagnosed Pedal Oedema, he gave me Water tablets to take ( I thought great like I need something to make me pee ) but I take them two times a day 8 am and 13:00 I go to the loo a lot during the day but since I have been taking them I have stopped going through the night and the swelling is improving also I would advise not having a hot drink after 18:00 this may help

Wish you all the best

Chris

The tiredness could well be the hormones; that's quite common. But coupled with the swollen ankles, it may be a heart/circulation thing, or something else entirely. Worth getting it checked out.

I have recepticle in bedroom, don’t want a fall  being sleepy....
