Hi, l am on treatment 17 of 39. I had issues with gas bubbles on my original marking day so tech told me to take a GasEx pill. I take the 24 hour pill at night each day before my 7:50 am appointment. No issues since.

@perrychristopher Today is my last Thursday and yep, Gas X works. Been using it 2 hours before treatment since Day 1. Haven't missed one yet. We got this, guys. Radiation does end.

@perrychristopher Yup, Gas X has worked well for me when I needed it. The thing that catches me is that I gulp down ~30 oz of water 45 minutes before my appointment, then sometimes that gets things moving. Just as I’m about the head out the door, I detour to the bathroom for a quick release. But, other than that early gassy day, I haven’t missed a treatment.
Hang in there!
