For years now my bladder has been an issue at night, even before my PSA began to elevate. My prostate is not that large, but it was chalked up to BPH before cancer was finally diagnosed. I wake every hour or two, feeling the urge to urinate. I’ve been on Myrbetriq which helps a little, but learned the easiest thing to do is to get up and pee rather than letting it make me anxious. Currently in the midst of SBRT for PCa my bladder irritability is even worse; after today’s (treatment #3/5) I’ve been voiding every half hour and fear the same will happen through the night. I started Flomax (tamsulosin) last night added by my Radiation Oncologist. I tried several alpha-blockers in the past but disliked the associated retrograde ejaculation; but of course that’s a moot point now following SBRT and ADT.

@rbtsch1951 Did the Flomax help?
