I was over radiated, causing radiation proctitus. I've had 3 sig Flex with APC applications. My sig colon is fine now.(my prostate cancer is gone,PSA is.2) after the 3rd I had a sys scope for urethra blockage. WS told my bladder was clear no cancer, but was loaded with scar tissues in urethra. Within 2weeks of scope, I started urinating blood heavily for 2 weeks, it subsided and I started with a minor leaking. I started wearing depend guards, the leaking has increased. I am now told I have 2 bulbous strictures in urethra that require 2 separate operations 6 months apart.
I will appreciate any comments, suggestions or alternatives for my conditions.

How many sessions of radiation did you receive?
Thanks.
Sorry to hear about your experience, kind of scary for someone just starting treatments, I just got my 7th of 28 treatments to come, I just hope for the best. Did you get more than 48 treatments like most patients? Get better soon. Raymond.

flyd. You could start a new discussion under the prostate support group heading not this one under events. I have had it all and know what you are going thru. Are you in Minnesota? I eventually got the ams 800. There are surgeons who specialize in radiation caused ptoblems.
