You are having radiation done in 20 sessions. They used to do the same thing in 35 to 40 sessions giving smaller amounts of radiation every time. You need to discuss this with the radiation Oncologist. They may have to reduce the intensity of the radiation, a little bit in order for you to avoid this problem. That would require more sessions, but it could be beneficial to you.

Definitely talk to them about this problem, It is unusual.

Thank you for your input. I definitely will be discussing this with the radiation oncologist.

Hi, just finished 20
Fractions at Mayo 3 weeks ago. Mine developed on 3 rd treatment day.
Flomax 0.4 mg daily. Since finishing treatments It has leveled out and has improved. I see light at the end of tunnel. Hang in there. Good Luck.
