Considering Cyberknife as an alternative radiotherapy option but understand it is more intensive and not sure my bladder will cope with the 45 minute session.
I had my first session of radiotherapy today. When they checked my bladder with ultrasound they said that it was not full enough. I was then asked to drink another 2 cups of water. After waiting 40 minutes I felt the need to go to the toilet. As long as you notify them then this is okay. I then had to drink another 4 cups of water. After 30 minutes I felt the need to go again. Luckily enough they called me in, once you’re on the bed the need to go fades. I was on the bed for about 10-15 minutes. They have now extended my appointment time by 1 hour so that I can hydrate myself at home before my appointments. I did head to the toilet afterwards. I’m having 37 sessions.
