Michael, Agree. Peeing is not the same and stream is definitely weaker. I do not take anything at all. Following the surgery they gave me that Flomax but that was preventive only in case of something...
Hey Idog, Well, you have basically described very similar to what I have though appears you have been affected a bit more. Bottom line is, just not the same however I stress, I have no complaints....
Hey thanks for the replies gents. I've mentioned it to oncologist but have described it is very minor and not much of a complaint so didn't see a reason to see urologist. That's really the only...
Hello, It's been a while since I posted. Actually last time, not sure I heard back. lol So, July will be 3 years since my brachy following Proton treatment. Generally speaking, I would say things are...
Hello everyone, I posted in here back in late 2018 when I was going through my Proton treatment and Brachytherapy. It's been a good while and thought I'd just provide an update for folks if...
Ha, that's funny. I had proton treatment but it was all mornings so I drank coffee. The techs were great and helps that there were some cuties to make it thru the day. Ha. ...
Oh hey, somehow missed this. So, there was no discussion whatsoever ever about stranded or unstranded. Not sure you asked but I know a comment was made way back then about how they are less likely to...
I hope everyone is doing ok. I'm just about to hit four months post brachytherapy, making me right about 25% strength now. I was told a two month half life. I began this thread a while back. All the...
Hello all, For some reason I didn't get any email notifications on all of these fine responses. But, absolutely, this can happen, says also in all of my post OP notes too. Same type information, if...
Thanks browntrout. I had read that this is more rare so I was a little surprised. My docs response was "No worries here. You had 61 seeds placed so each seed only contributes ~1.6% of dose. The seed...
Hello all, I posted a while back right after my Brachy surgery on 27 July (Brachy and Flomax was that post). I did follow the suggestions here and my doctor to temporarily take this Flomax for about...
That's definitely the spirit, no pun intended. Single malt too. ;)...
Hello, I left a previous post about brachy and flomax. Having just had my procedure finished approximately 54 hours ago, all seems well. Urination is pretty darn good all things considered. I had LDR...
Hello Browntrout, Thanks. These terms are all new to me but I quickly gather SE is side effects. lol I appreciate all of the help here. I'm just 53 and pretty active to begin with (retired Army guy...
Ok Jim, You've sufficiently scared me. :) I'll go in the middle and take 1 per day instead of the two. I feel a surprisingly good. Took gauze off this morning, almost nothing in it. Eric...
Stan, Thanks for the reply and sorry you had difficulty. I felt extremely happy as soon as I went successfully in the hospital. It was one of the key things, well first was dear God dont wake up with...
Hello all, Just joined. I literally had my Brachytherapy today and home, all seems well. I'm urinating rather well all things considered with some minor burning. The doc had ordered flomax to begin...
