Greetings all.
Started RT on Monday last. IGRT with gold seed implants. Bit of a non event really, as it should be.
However, Tuesday night had problems urinating. Slow, painful, low volume. Wednesday morning very slow, but got better during the day and by the time of RT it was back to normal.
Wednesday night, back to slow, low and painful.
Told the Radiotherapist on Thursday, saw the Specialist Rt therapy nurse who told me that there was no Urologist in the department, so I would have to go to AE as a normal outpatient. So much for MDT's!
In AE for 3 hours. Told only possible treatment was a Catheter, but' you don't want a catheter', if you can still pass water, live with it, but as soon as you can't, get to AE ASAP.
Been monitoring input & outflow over the weekend. Slow, small amounts ( circa 100 ml a time) , frequent and painful.
Anybody come across this before? And what was the resolution?
Answers appreciated before I'm back at hospital tomorrow.
Hope to hear from the collective knowledge out there.
Regards all.
Chris
