I had SBRT but specifically the Mridian machine, 5 treatments, with 2 mm margins so healthy tissue exposure was less than other sbrt machines that used 3-5 mm. After the 3rd treatment, my urination was a bit more difficult, so I started Flomax and overnight my stream increased. There have not been any additional side effects other than over time (I was treated in Jan-Feb of 2023), my urination flow improved.

@glabelle & @bens1 Midway in my 5-treatment SBRT (April 9 to 21, 2025), I was asked if I experienced a burning sensation during urination. I said no. After my 5th radiation, my oncologist mentioned that my immediate side effects might peak in the 3rd or 4th week post-SBRT. I noticed some mucus and blood in my stool in the 3rd week, but it cleared on the 4th week; I had no problem when my wife and I went on a cruise this past May 12 to 19.
