How do you manage full bladder & empty bowel for daily Radiation?

There’s always the enema route…My RO discouraged them but at times it was either enema or NO treatment due to feces/gas.
Do what you have to do to get thru the sessions but I wouldn’t advise a daily enema since they can irritate the rectum. Best,
Phil

@heavyphil that's exactly what I used when I recently underwent 5 SBRT sessions. Even if I had somewhat of a BM I would use a enema before leaving home for my session. It worked well for me.
