Hi, I am new to the group. I am currently going through radiotherapy for prostate cancer. i have done 16 sessions but the pain I am currently experiencing peeing is getting hard to cope with. Not a burning pain just pain peeing with a weak flow. it’s especially painful in the night.

Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any tips to ease this oain? i am taking Ibuprofen and paracetamol regularly. I am very worried how bad this pain will get .

I am so sorry to hear of your symptoms whilst going through your Radiotherapy. Do you have a specialist nurse appointed to you through the hospital, I would give her a call in office hours, failing this contact the 24 hot line if you have one and they should be able to communicate with your team.

If you do phone have your hospital number and nhs number available.

They also most always ask for your Temperature as one of their first questions.

Good luck and I hope you get some much needed assistance

Take care
