Unfortunately, there is no way to know if you will have urinary problems after treatment. After radiation, minor issues are come up, but after surgery, some people never get continence. There is no way of knowing what your results will be. It is not unusual for people that have had radiation to have urinary incontinence issues years later, that’s what happened to me six years after radiation.

Thanks Jeff. I was wondering If there were any differences between 5 fractions vs 45 fractions. I’ve read the studies showing no diffs. Not sure whether i trust them.

That is so weird that 5 years later it would occur. What is your understanding of why that happens.
