Yes, johnny, there is a relationship, but to date there really is no clear smoking gun.
Your urinary problems ‘should’ resolve with your successful cancer treatment, but if not you really have to sit down with your doctor and discuss what options there are for better urination.
There are minor procedures- such as fulguration - which widen the opening where the bladder meets the urethra. I had this done and got instant relief.

There seems to be a relationship, but it's not entirely clear whether it's positive or negative:

It doesn't seem like there's any need to get worked up about this, but I absolutely agree that Johnny should talk this over with his docs.
